[GSoC 2026] Praful V Raj - AI Chatbot to Guide User Workflow

Hi everyone! :waving_hand: I’m Praful V Raj, a student studying Computer Science at East West Institute of Technology, Bangalore.

I’m really excited to introduce myself here — I’ve been exploring the AI Chatbot to Guide User Workflow project proposal and I’d love to contribute to it this GSoC cycle.

A bit about my background:

I have experience with Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
I’ve worked with NLP libraries and LLMs (e.g., [mention any: LlamaIndex, LangChain, OpenAI API, etc.])
I’ve used Jenkins for CI/CD in [personal] projects
I’m particularly drawn to this project because I think an AI assistant that helps users navigate Jenkins pipelines and documentation could genuinely improve developer productivity — especially for newcomers to the Jenkins ecosystem.

I’ve already started familiarizing myself with Jenkins plugin development and exploring NLP frameworks like LlamaIndex and spaCy as suggested in the quick start guide.

I’d love to connect with @Kris Stern, @Shivay Lamba, and @Chirag Gupta to understand the project’s direction better and start drafting my contributor application.

Looking forward to learning from everyone here! :rocket:
