+\chapter*{Abstract}
+    This report presents the comprehensive development of \enquote{PanPal: A chef's chatbot}, aimed at enhancing the SmartEating platform by integrating an interactive cooking assistant.
+    The project addresses the absence of a chatbot to assist users with various cooking-related tasks, leveraging both an OpenAI GPT model and Mixtral, an open source large language model (LLM) hosted at OST.
+    The report provides an in-depth analysis of the planning, execution, and evaluation phases of the project, highlighting the methodologies, risk management strategies, and the overall development lifecycle.
+
+    The final product is a robust, user-friendly chatbot fully integrated into the SmartEating infrastructure.
+    It offers a hands-free experience, allowing users to interact with the assistant without needing to touch their devices.
+    Despite some limitations, the project successfully meets its objectives and lays the groundwork for future enhancements.
+    Key achievements include the development of a versatile cooking assistant, the successful integration of the chatbot into the SmartEating platform, and the implementation of effective project management strategies.
+
+    The report includes a comparative analysis of the available assistants to aid users in making informed choices.
+    The report also highlights areas for future work, such as improving the Mixtral assistant's capabilities.
