Developing a Conversational AI ChatBot in 5 minutes

What is a Conversational AI Chatbot?

Conversational AI chatbots are computer programs that use artificial intelligence to simulate human conversation. They are designed to interact with humans in a way that feels natural and can be used to provide customer service, answer questions, and even make recommendations. These chatbots can be integrated into messaging platforms, websites, or mobile apps, and can communicate through text, voice, or both.

Conversational AI chatbots are typically built using natural language processing (NLP) techniques, which enable them to understand and interpret human language. They use machine learning algorithms to analyze and learn from the data they receive, improving their ability to understand and respond to user requests over time.
