Let us now understand what a chatbot is.



                             Chatbot



                  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.

                     computer scientist at MIT's artificial intelligence lab between 1964 and 1966.
