[GSoC 2026 Proposal] AI-powered Jenkins chatbot - Feedback Request

Subject: [GSoC 2026 Proposal] AI-powered Jenkins chatbot for intelligent workflow guidance and troubleshooting

Hello Jenkins Community and GSoC Mentors,

My name is Shehan Perera, and I am an undergraduate student from Sabaragamuwa University of Sri Lanka. I have officially submitted my proposal for the “AI Chatbot to Guide User Workflow” project idea.

My proposal focuses on: “Developing an AI-powered chatbot integrated into the Jenkins dashboard using React + JavaScript/TypeScript. “ Implementing a Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) architecture using LlamaIndex and FastAPI to provide context-aware documentation and troubleshooting support. * Utilizing spaCy and PyTorch for the NLP backend to ensure accurate intent classification.

I would greatly appreciate any early feedback or suggestions on my technical approach or implementation plan. I am also looking forward to discussing the project further with the potential mentors: @krisstern, and @shivaylamba.

You can find my draft/details here: https://docs.google.com/document/d/17sL7-vzEkWRQVQF-stktVXlkqmzLA6tN0adeae8IHJQ/edit?usp=sharing

Thank you for your time and guidance!
