Lessons Learned Bot API – Integrating Lessons Learned into Agency Applications

The Lessons Learned Bot API is a REST Application Programming Interface (API) that can be accessed using a variety of web technologies and programming languages from anywhere within the NASA agency firewall. If your application is capable of accessing a REST API, which most are these days, then it should be possible to integrate the LLB API and its datasets, including thousands of Lessons Learned, into your existing application.

Figure 1 is showing an overview of the Lessons Learned Bot in Excel. One cell containing a paragraph is selected, and search results are displayed on a sidebar to the right. The sidebar is titled "Lessons Learned Bot Results." In this sidebar, you can see various titles and descriptions of relevant documents.
Lessons Learned Bot Excel Version

In near real-time, the Lessons Learned Bot, or LLB, brings lessons learned (LL) documents to users through a Microsoft Excel add-in application locally installed to search for LL content relevant to the text within the selected Excel cell. The application will encompass a corpus of documents, a trained Machine Learning (ML) model, built-in ML tools to train user’s documents, and an easy-to-use user interface to allow for the streamlined discovery of LL content.
