Abstract

This public service was in the form of training on the use of Chatbot of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in improving the vocabulary of students at SMPN 9 Palu. This objective is to foster and develop interest and training of participants in English; bringing ICT-based learning media (Information Communication Technology) into the classroom, namely a chatbot application that can be used to send digital messages in English. The purpose of this activity is to improve the participants' words to be able to communicate well in English; provide a procedural explanation of the use of the AI chatbot application regarding the use of technology in learning English and how to practice it through the android application; facilitate participants to learn independently. Furthermore, this activity also sharpens the skills of the participants to create and convey ideas in written communication in English. This activity was carried out through lecture and demonstration methods. Then proceed with direct practice (hands on practice). Demonstration and example methods involve more on parsing and how to demonstrate something through examples or in other words learning by doing or learning by practice which
emphasizes learning while practicing, so it's not just a theory. So, trainees were given the opportunity to practice using AI chatbots. In addition, students made a short writing for English conversation with the help of the public service team and students who were involved in this public activity. The results of this training showed that all participants were enthusiastic, happy, and motivated because this application was still unfamiliar to the participants. Participants also have known how to use this application, so they could indirectly learn independently whenever and wherever they are.
