Operating

An up-to-date operating system is a requirement for many online

programs. Windows XP, 2000, NT, or 98 are usually acceptable. For Mac
users, you will need System 8.1 or higher. If you're not sure which
operating system you have, or whether it's compatible, contact your
enrollment advisor.

E-mail Address

E-mail is one tech component that's free. Most students have their own
private e-mail account through Gmail, Yahoo, Hotmail, or otherwise. If
you don't, set one up. You may also need to set up a school-based e-
mail account at your new college.

Microsoft Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Publisher, Access)

For word processing and data analysis projects, you'll need

programs that can create text documents and spreadsheets. Microsoft
Office is the most common suite for this purpose. If you don't have
these programs installed on your computer, check with your school
before you purchase them. They may be supplied as part of your course
materials.

Programming Languages:

Three of the most important “front end” languages are HTML, CSS, and
JavaScript. These all have specific uses, and all three are used to design
websites. They help define form, function, and style – and are all
necessary skills to become web developer.

1
 HT

This is one of the fundamental building blocks of the web. HTML, or

“HyperText Markup Language,”

Has been around in some form since roughly 1993, when it was created
by physicist Tim Berners-Lee. It’s now in its fifth generation, HTML5.

HTML isn’t a programming language, rather it’s a “Markup language.” It

uses a syntax of tags to change the way text is displayed, for instance. It
can also define where images go on a page.

What’s great is that HTML is relatively simple to learn. It provides a

great place to start for people who don’t have experience with
programming languages to learn the basics of coding.

CSS

CSS or “Cascading Style Sheets” works with HTML to create the format
for web pages. It works on top of the foundation of a page that was
created with HTML. It also helps adapt pages to different formats
optimized for desktops or mobile devices. The latest standard is CSS3,
meaning they are in their third generation.

CSS is what gives websites their polished and professional look. It also
allows for the addition of interactive elements like background color,
headers, shapes, graphics, and more that make websites and web
applications much more engaging to the viewer.

1
JavaScript

JavaScript, which is often abbreviated to JS, is another front-end

programming language that is one of the core technologies of the
World Wide Web, alongside HTML and CSS. As of 2022, 98% of
websites use JavaScript on the client side for webpage behavior, often
incorporating third-party libraries like JQuery. Whereas HTML & CSS are
used to control presentation, formatting, and layout, JavaScript is used
to control the behavior of different web elements.

It is important to learn HTML and CSS before learning JavaScript, since

HTML and CSS are the core technologies for building web pages and
applications. HTML defines the structure of your content, CSS
determines the style and layout, and JavaScript makes the content
interactive; therefore, it makes the most sense to learn them in that
order. JavaScript incorporates valuable skills such as object-oriented,
functional, and imperative styles of programming. Beginner developers,
in turn, can apply these skills to any new language they want to learn,
like Python and C#.

Understanding how to program in JavaScript is essential to landing any

web development job. JavaScript is more complex than both HTML and
CSS. However, that doesn’t mean it’s beyond anyone’s grasp. Both
professionals and amateur developers both use JavaScript code to
make professional-looking websites.

 IMPLEMENTATION

A virtual assistant is working on a artificial way who provides

administrative services to clients while they are busy in office. This
virtual assistant typically operates out easy work and access the
necessary planning documents, such as shared calendars, remotely.

A virtual assistant is a self-employed worker who specializes in offering

administrative services to clients from a remote location, usually a
home office.

Typical tasks a virtual assistant might perform include scheduling

appointments, making phone calls, making travel arrangements, and
managing your email accounts.
Some virtual assistants specialize in offering bookkeeping, social media,
and marketing services.

For an user, one advantage of using a virtual assistant is the flexibility to

contract for just the services they need and zero cost with high
efficiency.

The specific duties of a virtual assistant vary according to the needs of

the user and the terms of the user’s condition. Some virtual assistants
handle clerical and bookkeeping tasks, while others may post regular
updates to social media or reading articles for a blog.

A well-rounded virtual assistant may also handle travel arrangements,

appointment scheduling, data entry, and online file storage. For small
business owners, hiring a virtual assistant can help them free up
valuable hours to focus on growing the business and generating
revenue.

1
 It can be easier and more cost-effective to outsource tasks that are
tedious and time-consuming to someone who is skilled at them. A
computer primarily based approach for performing a command via a
voice consumer interface on a subset of objects.

The subset is selected from a fixed of items, each having an object type
at least one taggable field is associated with the object type and has a
corresponding value. The set of objects is saved in the laptop memory.

An utterance is acquired from the person and consists of a command,

an object type choice, a tag-gable field selection, and a price for the
taggable discipline.

Responsive to the utterance, at least one item is retrieved from the set
of gadgets, the item of the sort selected through the user and having a
price within the taggable area selection that matches the taggable field
fee obtained from the user the command is done on the item. The
object includes textual content that’s converted to voice output .

They envisioned that someday computers will recognize natural

language and count on what we need, whilst and where we need it, and
proactively whole responsibilities on our behalf.

2
 IMPLEMENTATION DETAILS

Setting up the environment to code:

The first and foremost thing for an A.I. assistant is to speak. To make
our bot(virtual assistant) talk, we will code a speak() function. This
function will take audio as an argument, and then, it will pronounce it.

Now, I will start by stating what I want this program to do. This program
will run specific commands once a wake word is given by the user’s
voice. This program will then execute those commands audibly back to
the user.

The commands to be executed are as follows:

1. Say the greeting when user run the program.

2. Get the date for the user.
3. Get the time for the user.
4. Get the browser command to the user.
5. Get weather command for the user.
6. Search online command for user.

2
 WORKING OF VIRTUAL ASSISTANTS

There are many virtual assistant apps available in the market

nowadays. Most of them work on the same technique as discussed in a
stepwise manner below:

1. First and foremost step while using assistant is that it needs to be

activated. It can be

2
2

2
 3. activated by compatible input methods like voice, text

4. After the assistant is activated by the input method the request

made in the form of input goes to the server of the company which
developed that particular virtual assistant.

5. When the input reaches the server it tries to examine the input with
the help of an algorithm to match it with the available commands.

6. The virtual assistant may or may not recognize the user’s command
fully based on what percent of the information input by the user is
understood by the virtual assistant. This is the reason for not getting
the accurate response all the time. When the virtual assistant is
unable to comprehend the user’s input it may give a warning about
not actually understanding the input.

7. Some offline commands like “turn on the light” and “pause the
music” do not require communication of virtual assistant with the
server.

8. Next step is the response from the server to virtual assistant.

7. The user may then get the response from virtual assistant. The
response can be in any form from text to audio.

It starts with a signal word. Users say the names of their voice
assistants for the same reason. They might say, “Hey Siri!” or simply,
“Alexa!” Whatever the signal word is, it wakes up the device. It signals
to the voice assistant that it should begin paying attention. After the
voice assistant hears its signal word, it starts to listen. The device waits
for a pause to know you’ve finished your request. The voice assistant

2
then sends our request over to its source code. Once in the source
code, our request is compared to other requests.

It’s split into separate commands that our voice assistant can
understand. The source code then sends these commands back to the
voice assistant. Once it receives the commands, the voice assistant
knows what to do next.

If it understands, the voice assistant will carry out the task we asked
for. For example, “Hey NOVA! What’s the weather?” NOVA reports
back to us in seconds. The more directions the devices receive, the
better and faster they get at fulfilling our requests.

The user gives the voice input through microphone and the assistant is
triggered by the wake up word and performs the STT (Speech to Text)
and converts it into a text and understands the Voice input and further
performs the task said by the user repeatedly and delivers it via TTS
(Text to Speech) module via AI Voice.

These are the important features of the voice assistant but other than
this, we can do an plenty of things with the assistant.

List of features that can be done with the assistant:

- Playing some video which, the user wants to see.

- Telling some random fact at the start of the day with which the
user can do their work in an informative way and the user will also
learn something new.

- One of the features which will be there in every assistant is

playing some game so that the user can spend their free time in a
fun way.

2
 - Users might forget to turn off the system which might contain
some useful data but with a voice assistant, we can do that even
after leaving the place where the system is just by commanding
the assistant to turn the system off.

- As discussed about the mandatory features to be listed in voice

assistant are implemented in this work, brief explanation is given
below.

API CALLS

We have used API keys for getting news information from news api and
weather forecast from open weather map which can accurately fetch
information and give results to the user.

SYSTEM CALLS

In this feature, we have used OS & Web Browser Module to access the
desktop, calculator, task manager, command prompt & user folder. This
can also restart the pc and open the chrome application.

CONTENT EXTRATION

This can Perform content extraction from YouTube, Wikipedia and

Chrome using the web driver module from selenium which provides all
the implementations for the web drive like searching for a specific
video to play, to get a specific information in google or from Wikipedia.

 Feasibility

Feasibility study can help you determine whether or not you should
proceed with your project. It is essential to evaluate cost and benefit. It
is essential to evaluate cost and benefit of the proposed system. Five
types of feasibility study are taken into consideration.

Technical feasibility: It includes finding out technologies for the

project, both hardware and software. For virtual assistant, user must
have microphone to convey their message and a speaker to listen when
system speaks. These are very cheap now a days and everyone
generally possess them. Besides, system needs internet connection.
While using, make sure you have a steady internet connection. It is also
not an issue in this era where almost every home or office has Wi-Fi.

Operational feasibility: It is the ease and simplicity of operation of

proposed system. System does not require any special skill set for users
to operate it. In fact, it is designed to be used by almost everyone. Kids
who still don’t know to write can read out problems for system and get
answers.

Economic feasibility: Here, we find the total cost and benefit of the
proposed system over current system. For this project, the main cost is
documentation cost. User also, would have to pay for microphone and
speakers. Again, they are cheap and available. As far as maintenance is
concerned, it won’t cost too much.

Organizational feasibility: This shows the management and

organizational structure of the project. This project is not built by a
team. The management tasks are all to be carried out by a single
person. That won’t create any management issues and will increase the
feasibility of the project.

2
 Cultural feasibility: It deals with compatibility of the project with
cultural environment. Virtual assistant is built in accordance with the
general culture. This project is technically feasible with no external
hardware requirements. Also, it is simple in operation and does not
cost training or repairs. Overall feasibility study of the project reveals
that the goals of the proposed system are achievable. Decision is taken
to proceed with the project.

 FEATURES & BENEFITS

Companies are investing in harnessing the power of Speech Recognition

and a key testimony to this fact is the penetration of newer offerings
such as Alex (Echo) from Amazon in addition to existing behemoths
such as Sir (Apple) and (Microsoft). On the flipside, customer-facing
enterprises are realizing the intuitive benefits of voice-based assistants
to modernize and strengthen the customer support apparatus.
Remote Access

The virtual resources let the user access support systems through the
natural course of speech without the need for being present at a specific
location/access a dedicated device. Plus, the program lets users find
answers, initiate transactions, resolve issues and do a lot more without
typing.
Minimal Hardware Requirement

Since voice assistants have been developed to work with little hardware
intervention, the user can get information on their personal devices such
as smart phones or PC.
Cost-effective Package

The software product is offered as a package through a single

application with a simple interface and easy integration. It nearly works
on the concept of Plug and Play and therefore the monetary implications
work out to be optimal.

3
Results on the Go

The most intriguing feature of Virtual Assistants is that the user can
perform a search or initiate a query anywhere using mobile devices. The
bare minimum requirement is internet/phone connectivity.
. Time – Saver

Imagine an interactive system where there is a drastic reduction in the

time required to access the support by eliminating unwanted options and
mediums. A Virtual Assistant helps in factoring time-saving choices for
the user to help him/her exit quickly after receiving the required
assistance.
Available in Major Languages

Stakeholders concerned about offering manned support in multiple

languages can breathe easy with Voice Assistant integration. It supports
major languages and dialects around the world, helping in localizing
support.

 CONCLUSION

Virtual Personal Assistants are very effective way to organize your

schedule. Now there are many Smart Personal Digital Assistant
applications available in market for various device platforms.

These new Software Applications are performing really well then PDA
devices as they provided with all resources of your smart phone.

VPAs are also reliable than Human Personal Assistant because, VPAs
are more portable and you can use them anytime .They also have IOT
of information than any assistant as they connected with internet.

In this paper, we researched about a web based AI chat bot which is

based on Google Assistant API, JavaScript, Python, CSS and HTML. We
created text based input and output web interface and code pattern
uses Google API Dialog Flow to control the conversation flow between
user and chat bot.

Our recommendation to disclose to customers is that they are

interacting with a non-human interlocutor. By showing that CAs can be
the source of persuasive messages, we provide evidence that
attempting to fool customers into believing they are interacting with a
human might not be necessary nor desirable.

The focus should be on employing strategies to achieve greater human

likeness through anthropomorphism by indicating, for instance,
identity, small-talk, and empathy, which we have shown to have a
positive effect on user compliance. When employing CAs, and chat bots

3
in particular, providers should design dialogs as carefully as they design
the user interface. Besides focusing on dialogs that are as close as
possible to human-human communications, providers can employ and
test a variety of other strategies and techniques. AI-based CAs have
become increasingly popular in various settings and potentially offer a
number of time- and cost-saving opportunities.

However, many users still experience unsatisfactory encounters with

chat bots (e.g., high failure rates), which might result in skepticism and
resistance against the technology, potentially inhibiting that users
comply with recommendations and requests made by the chat bot.

In our study we designed a web-based AI application to show how

Machine Learning, Python & JavaScript techniques increase user
compliance with a chat bot’s request for service feedback. Our study is
thus an initial step towards better understanding how AI-based CAs
may improve user compliance by leveraging the effects of Machine
learning and AI as the need to stay consistent in the context of
electronic markets and customer service.

Consequently, this piece of research extends prior knowledge of CAs as

anthropomorphic information agents in customer-service. We hope
that our study provides impetus for future research on compliance
mechanisms in CAs and improving AI-based abilities in and beyond
electronic markets and customer self-service contexts. The paper
provides several avenues for future research focusing on the design of
chat bot as information agents and may help in improving the
interaction of AI-based CAs through user compliance and feedback.

Moreover, with the rise of AI and other technological advances,

intelligent CAs will become even more important in the future and will

3
further influence user experiences in, for example, decision-makings,
on boarding journeys, and technology adoptions. Since the study was
conducted in an experimental setting with a simplified version of an
instant messaging application, future research needs to confirm and
refine the results in a more realistic setting, such as in a field study.

In future research we need to examine how to influence users to start

the chat bot interaction but who just simply end the questionnaire after
their inquiry has been solved, a common user behavior in service
contexts that does not even allow for the emergence of survey
requests. Furthermore, our sample consisted of only German
participants, so that future researchers may want to test the
investigated effects in other cultural contexts.

Users might get used to the presented cues and will respond differently
over time, once they are acquainted to the new technology and the
influences attached to it.

Weather App

1. INTRODUCTION
Weather forecasting is the application of science and technology to predict the conditions of the
atmosphere for a given location and time.

Human beings have attempted to predict the weather informally for millennia and formally since
the 19th century. Weather forecasts are made by collecting quantitative data about the current
state of the atmosphere at a given place and using meteorology to project how the atmosphere
will change.

Once a human-only endeavor based mainly upon changes in barometric pressure, current
weather conditions, and sky condition or cloud cover, weather forecasting now relies on
computer-based models that take many atmospheric factors into account. Human input is still
required to pick the best possible forecast model to base the forecast upon, which involves
pattern recognition skills, tele-connections, knowledge of model performance, and knowledge of
model biases. The inaccuracy of forecasting is due to the chaotic nature of the atmosphere, the
massive computational power required to solve the equations that describe the atmosphere, the
error involved in measuring the initial conditions, and an incomplete understanding of
atmospheric processes. Hence, forecasts become less accurate as the difference between current
time and the time for which the forecast is being made (the range of the forecast) increases. The
use of ensembles and model consensus help narrow the error and pick the most likely outcome.

There are a variety of end uses to weather forecasts. Weather warnings are important forecasts
because they are used to protect life and property. Forecasts based on temperature and
precipitation are important to agriculture, and therefore to traders within commodity markets.

Temperature forecasts are used by utility companies to estimate demand over coming days. On
an everyday basis, people use weather forecasts to determine what to wear on a given day. Since
outdoor activities are severely curtailed by heavy rain, snow and wind chill, forecasts can be
used to plan activities around these events, and to plan ahead and survive them. In 2009, the US
spent $5.1 billion on weather forecasting.

1.1 BACKGROUND
There are numerous apps and websites available on the Internet to get accurate weather
radar data. However, many require a fee, either to purchase the app or to subscribe to the radar
data itself. While most of these paid options will give you real-time live radar data, a few free
radar websites and apps offer user-friendly radar imagery with minimal delay. A few examples
of both free to download and use sites available in market are discussed in this section along with
the tasks they can provide and their drawbacks.
 7

National Weather Service

Website: https://radar.weather.gov

The National Weather Service offers radar data free from its website and is relatively easy to use,
and the site was recently updated, making it easier to use than before. A new user interface
allows users to zoom in and out easily, and it’s usable on both desktops and mobile phones. You
can view animations and view other radar products that show wind velocity and rainfall as well.
The site also layers warning boxes over the imagery so you can see which storms have severe
warnings.

Despite the drastically improved interface, many of the old negatives remain. The radar
resolution is still a bit grainy, and it isn’t as quick to update as some other apps. There’s still no
app either, but that’s due to a non-compete clause with the private industry in Federal law. So
you won’t get notifications of severe weather for your area.

Pros

 Offers a full suite of radar products for free

 Much improved user interface which is easy to navigate on a mobile device

Cons

 Resolution is grainy

AccuWeather

Website: https://www.accuweather.com/en/us/national/weather-radar

AccuWeather is another app that does a whole lot more than just radar. Along with radar, you
also have access to AccuWeather’s 15-day forecasts and a host of other weather data. The radar
also has a future radar option, but unlike the Weather Channel’s, it only goes out three hours in
advance. Zooming in and out is easy too.

While it doesn’t smooth the radar images to the degree The Weather Channel’s app does, it is
still enough that it may cause some inaccuracy. The user interface is not as intuitive as others on
our list, but in terms of the amount of data available, it is one of the more feature-
 8

Pros

 Access to AccuWeather content

 Lots of data options

Cons

 Radar images aren’t the best resolution

 Future radar only goes out 3 hours

1.2 OBJECTIVES

Weather forecasting is very necessary for our daily lives. It helps us to prepare and make plans
depending on the expectations. Many weather stations are placed around the world fetching real-
time weather elements’ data.

This data includes three components namely

 Today’s weather

 Hourly weather

 Weekly weather

Where we will get to know temperature, sunrise-sunset timing, weather details through icons
and weeklong weather forecast. With these, you can analyze trends and know the prediction of
tomorrow’s data or forecast the weather.

Most of these large chunks of data are processed at base stations using powerful and
sophisticated systems. They then share this data, (either analyzed over a long time or real-time

data) through APIs. Companies that do this includes OpenWeatherMap and Dark
 9

1.3 PURPOSE AND SCOPE

Purpose

The purpose of developing weather app is to fetch the weather data from all over the world and
to provide it to people at their fingertips with simple and easy to use interface. Another purpose
for developing this site is to reduce the risk of distorting daily plans and arrangements which can
be ruined if we don’t know the weather around us since nobody really knows for certain what is
likely to happen in the nearest minute.

Scope

In ancient times, forecasting was mostly based on weather pattern observation. Over the years,
the study of weather patterns has resulted in various techniques for rainfall forecasting. Present
rainfall forecasting embodies a combination of computer models, interpretation, and an
acquaintance of weather patterns. Now days we use many advanced technologies for weather
forecasting such as Ensemble Forecasting, Radar, Weather Satellites and Weather Maps and
in future we will evolve more. The scope of the project is the system on which the Node.js is
installed, i.e. the project is developed as a desktop application, and it will work for a particular.
But later on the project can be modified to operate it online.

2. SURVEY OF TECHNOLOGY

Next Js
 1

Created by Vercel, a cloud company for hosting frontends and serverless functions, Next.js is
a React framework capable of creating applications that run both on the client and the server,
otherwise known as Universal JavaScript applications. This framework helps you build
universal apps faster by streamlining basic features like client-side routing and page layout
while simplifying advance features like server-side rendering and code splitting.

Node Js

Node Js is a Java Runtime Environment. A Java Runtime Environment (JRE) is software that is
made to execute other software. A JRE often contains three of the following elements: A Java
Virtual Machine, a Java Classloader, and a Java Class Library. The ClassLoader is used to load
everything needed to execute a program. The Java Class Library contains a set (or library) of
reusable code that can be used to make programs, and the Java Virtual Machine allows a
computer to execute programs and applications written in Java.
Node JS contains all these elements thanks to Chrome’s V8, which was the engine used to build
it. In short, Node Js is a Javascript Runtime Environment, and it’s used to execute JavaScript
code outside of a browser.

Npm

npm is the package manager for the Node JavaScript platform. It puts modules in place so that
node can find them, and manages dependency conflicts intelligently.

It is extremely configurable to support a wide variety of use cases. Most commonly, it is used to
publish, discover, install, and develop node programs.

Javascript

JavaScript is a text-based programming language used both on the client-side and server-side
that allows you to make web pages interactive. Where HTML and CSS are languages that give
structure and style to web pages, JavaScript gives web pages interactive elements that engage a
user. Common examples of JavaScript that you might use every day include the search box on
Amazon, a news recap video embedded on The New York Times, or refreshing your Twitter
feed.

React

React. js is an open-source JavaScript library that is used for building user interfaces specifically
for single-page applications......React allows developers to create large web applications that can
change data, without reloading the page. The main purpose of React is to be fast, scalable, and
simple.

OpenWeatherMap
 1

OpenWeatherMap is an online service, owned by OpenWeather Ltd, that provides

global weather data via API, including current weather data, forecasts, nowcasts and historical
weather data for any geographical location. The company provides a minute-by-minute
hyperlocal precipitation forecast for any location.

3. REQUIREMENT AND ANALYSIS

3.1 Feasibility Study

Feasibility study can help you determine whether or not you should proceed with your
project. It is essential to evaluate cost and benefit. It is essential to evaluate cost and benefit of
the proposed system. Five types of feasibility study are taken into consideration.
 1

Technical feasibility: It includes finding out technologies for the project, both hardware and
software. For weather app user must stable internet connection. While using weather app, make
sure you have a steady internet connection. It is also not an issue in this era where almost every
home or office has Wi-Fi.

Operational feasibility: It is the ease and simplicity of operation of proposed system.

System does not require any special skill set for users to operate it. In fact, it is designed to be
used by almost everyone. Kids who still don’t know to write can read out problems for system
and get answers.

Economical feasibility: Here, we find the total cost and benefit of the proposed system
over current system. For this project, the main cost is documentation cost. User just needs to pay
for their internet charge.

This project is technically feasible with no external hardware requirements. Also it is

simple in operation and does not cost training or repairs. Overall feasibility study of the
project reveals that the goals of the proposed system are achievable. Decision is taken to
proceed with the project.

3.2 HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE REQUIREMENTS

The software is designed to be light-weighted so that it doesn’t be a burden on the

machine running it. This system is being build keeping in mind the generally available hardware
and software compatibility. Here are the minimum hardware and software requirement for
virtual assistant.
