Grounded in the official UMass calendar

Ask what’s on campus.
Get answers from the real calendar.

A retrieval-augmented assistant over the UMass Amherst events feed. It searches the calendar first and only writes from what it found, so every event, date and location it gives you is one that actually exists.

what’s on this weekend that isn’t a lecture?
There’s a decent spread. The Welcome To The U: Kickoff Carnival runs Friday afternoon, and Libapalooza! is on at the Du Bois Library the same day — neither is a lecture.

How it stays honest

Retrieval first, writing second

The question is turned into filters — dates, free or paid, in person or virtual — and SQL narrows the calendar before any vector search runs. The model only ever sees events that survived.

Nothing invented

When nothing matches, it says so and offers the nearest real events instead of inventing a plausible one. A second model reads every answer against what retrieval found and checks each claim.

The calendar, not the internet

Events come from the UMass Amherst feed and are re-indexed when they change. Ratings and comments are yours, on top of the same events everyone else is looking at.
