Abstract: An information processing apparatus including circuitry. The circuitry receives a question from one of a user terminal apparatus and an administrator terminal apparatus. The circuitry performs determination as to whether the question is transmitted from the user terminal apparatus or transmitted from the administrator terminal apparatus. The circuitry searches for one or more answers including a word included in the question. The circuitry calculates a weighting of each of the one or more answers. When the determination result indicates that the question is transmitted from the user terminal apparatus, the circuitry transmits an answer having a weighting satisfying a predetermined threshold value of the weighting to the user terminal apparatus. When the determination result indicates the question is transmitted from the administrator terminal apparatus, the circuitry generates screen information of a screen for editing at least one of one or more answers.
