Client doesn’t know what they want

Idk if this is the right sub to post this in but I really need help. So this isn’t technically a job, it’s a year long project that I have in uni. The project was cooked from the beginning since the proposed requirements (AI) didn’t match the team’s skillset.

We raised this to the teaching team but they were like you got no choice sowwy. My team sucks it up and now we’ve met our client. The problem is they have no idea what they want.

They literally just want us to look at their process and figure out how to make their lives easier with AI. I’m kinda freaking out because I want to do well and I need to do this project to graduate. Any tips to how to actually get proper requirements out of them and not just “We want AI!”
