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. 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.
The first-ever chatbot was developed by Joseph Weizenbaum, a German American computer
scientist at MIT's artificial intelligence lab between 1964 and 1966.
