AI-Integrated Science Education & Literacies: The Greek Chatbot Talos

In this paper, we present the development of Talos, a customised chatbot using the AI Power plugin, on an educational platform to support students in basic education in writing scientific texts. The customisation involves simplifying the language, providing a student-friendly response style and age-sensitive texts. Talos acts as an educational tool, a facilitator, an expert and a friend in a targeted effort to develop scientific literacy in a personalised way. In addition, a discussion follows of the opportunities and challenges that emerge during the testing phase of Talos.
