Auto‑updates via API hooks to the SIS (Student Information System). | PostgreSQL + GraphQL | | AI Recommendation Engine | Uses OpenAI‑compatible LLM (or locally hosted model) to translate natural‑language goals (“I want a career in data science”) into a set of recommended courses, minors, and experiential learning opportunities. | LangChain + OpenAI API (or Llama‑2) | | Pathway Builder UI | Drag‑and‑drop visual canvas (Gantt‑style timeline) where users can add/remove courses, see prerequisite arrows, and view credit totals per term. | React + D3.js / VisX | | Risk & Forecasting | Predicts graduation date based on current plan, flags missing core requirements, and simulates “what‑if” scenarios (e.g., dropping a course, taking a summer term). | Python (Pandas, scikit‑learn) running as a micro‑service | | Integration Layer | Connects to SIS for real‑time enrollment caps, to the LMS for course availability, and to external partner catalogs via standardized JSON‑LD. | Node.js (NestJS) + OAuth2 / SAML | | Export & Share | Generates PDF/PNG snapshots, printable PDFs, and a shareable link (read‑only) that advisors can annotate. | PDFKit + AWS S3 (signed URLs) |
