A chatbot is artificial intelligence (AI) software that can simulate a chat or a conversation with a user in natural language through websites, messaging applications, mobile apps, or through the telephone.
The importance of chatbot lies in the fact that it is often described as one of the most advanced, accurate, and pleasing expressions of interaction between humans and machines. However, from a technical point of view, a chatbot only represents the natural evolution of a Question-Answering system leveraging Natural Language Processing (NLP). Formulating responses to questions in a native language is one of the most typical examples of Natural Language Processing applied in various enterprises’ end-use applications.
Alternatively, there is always an option of building a chatbot yourself using a dedicated chatbot builders platform like SendPulse, Chatfuel, or Hubspot.
Written below is the code to make a basic chatbot using HTML.
Happy chatting!
