Today, artificial intelligence is being implemented everywhere in many areas of human life: from medicine to driving a car. After the release of ChatGPT, it became clear that language models are able to "see" text according to the description, compose stories, and help a programmer create software. One of the most popular actions on the Internet is to search for information. In the context of the Higher School of Economics, students, especially first-year students, are constantly searching for information about rules, programs, minors and teachers. Many terms and their explanations are found in different sources, which makes this search quite complicated. For this reason, this work is dedicated to creating an information assistant that will help students quickly and accurately find the necessary information about the university. It will be based on a language model using RAG (Retrieval Augmented Generation) technology, which will help her not to hallucinate, but to generate her answers based on reliable sources.
