It contained the following functions: an interactive map of the room (the bot will tell you how to get, for example, to the cafeteria); calculation of the probability of an employee's promotion (a complex mathematical formula); familiarization with the company's security policy. And for the semi-finals, we added a button to join the chat and familiarize ourselves with the regulatory documents, reinforcing this with a test at the end of the reading."- said the captain of the team Mikhail Zamyslov.
