CHATBOT

In the AI world, we can interact with machines the same way we talk or converse in real-
time with other humans. This has become possible with the help of computer programs
known as chatbots.

A chatbot ‘also known as a bot’ is a computer program that allows humans to interact with
computing devices through voice, text, gesture, and touch.
The chatbot works like your virtual assistant, answering your questions based on your

inputs and performing the given tasks. For example: you can use the chatbot of a pizza
company to order a pizza for you.
