- Preliminary study of the domain and needs of the accounting firm.
- Review of literature and existing solutions in the field of conversational agents.
- Selection of the open-source model and necessary technologies for implementation.
- Collection and preparation of specific documents, including text pre-processing and creating a dataset for training.
- Training the model and optimising parameters to improve performance.
- Evaluation of the conversational agent's performance through qualitative and quantitative tests.
- Development of the web service using modern web technologies and appropriate frameworks.
- Implementation of the chatbot in the web service and integration testing.
- Collection of user feedback and improvement of the conversational agent and web service.
The thesis will conclude with a comprehensive analysis of the results obtained, highlighting the main contributions to creating and evaluating the conversational agent and the developed web service. The practical implications of introducing a chatbot in an accounting firm will be discussed, as well as the potential opportunities and future challenges related to adopting conversational agents and other artificial intelligence technologies in the field of tax and accounting consulting services.
