This article explores the development and implementation of an intelligent chatbot for information support for university staff and students. The solution is integrated into a unified personal account and is based on the locally deployed Gemma language model, the n8n automation platform, and the Supabase vector database. The design methodology, technology comparison, system architecture, implementation process, and testing results are described. Implementation of the system enabled the automation of 85% of routine queries, reduced the average response time to 1.8–2.1 seconds, and increased user satisfaction to 4.58 out of 5. The study's results can be adapted for various automated educational systems, particularly for providing information support to operators in computer simulator training courses.
