Findings indicate the chatbot's efficacy in providing comprehensive responses, its preference over traditional methods by users, and a low error rate. Highlighting the chatbot's real-time engagement, memory capabilities, and critical data access, the study demonstrates its potential to elevate accessibility, efficiency, and satisfaction. Concluding, the research suggests the chatbot significantly aids higher education internationalization, proposing further investigation into digital technology's role in educational enhancement and strategy development.
