desk customers. No other major objectives or goals are needed at this time.

● Search.extension.org - ○ MindBreeze was utilized to build out the custom search engine and provided access. ○ Significant Results: ■ Two NTAE staff with North Carolina State, completed the introductory MindBreeze Connector course. ■ Eduworks implemented a sitemap XML for Ask Extension to allow MindBreeze to efficiently crawl the ~500k pages on the site. ■ The Search tool has been embedded on Ask Extension and we are currently testing it. ○ Anticipated work for the next reporting period (June 1, 2022 - August 31, 2022): ■ Replace the existing search function on Ask Extension with the MindBreeze instance. ● The Artificial Intelligence work continues with the California Integrated Pest Management. Eduworks is working with California Integrated Pest Management (IPM) to triangulate questions/answers and images used to answer IPM questions, making sure the correct data tags are in place for machine learning. AI efforts are also underway with the University of Georgia Food Preservation NTAE Project. ○ California IPM Chatbot - ■ Updated the QA server for the chatbot (https://qa.chat.ask.eduworks.com/) with backend performance improvements and front-end UI updates: ● The updated Scout avatar is in place. ● More revisions to the chatbot’s dialog responses have been incorporated based on UC IPM feedback. ● The new chatbo search results visual component has been integrated and is ready for review/feedback.

● A temporary URL-replacement script has been put into place so that UC IPM images that are still on the HTTP server can be viewed while Chinh gets a proxy set up to support HTTPS. ( Note there are still some images that are being blocked by browser security occasionally in our data, such as those that are being directed to a UC Davis server. We have also put in a “Missing Image” placeholder that appears when this happens. )
