The JUST-OS (Judicious User-friendly Support Tool for Open Science) chatbot is an initiative by researchers at the University of Groningen and FORRT that aims to develop an AI-based chatbot to help researchers navigate Open Science resources more easily. While most researchers hold positive attitudes toward Open Science practices, it can be hard to navigate the plethora of Open Science resources. Our user-friendly chatbot aims to help researchers navigate resources in an engaging, user-tailored, and time-efficient way.
