This is a basic chatbot application built using Python's Tkinter library. It provides a simple chat interface where users can type messages and receive responses from the bot.
Right now, it's learning to be polite: it can say hello back to you in different ways.
- Keyword-based Responses: The chatbot uses a rule-based approach to identify keywords in user inputs and generate pre-defined responses.
- Greeting Recognition: It can recognize various greetings like "hi," "hello," "namaste," and respond accordingly.
- Limited Conversation: The bot can handle a few basic queries beyond greetings, like "how are you?" or questions about its name.
- Simple GUI: The application uses Tkinter to create a user-friendly interface with input and output text areas.
Prerequisites:
Python 3.x installed on your system.
Poetry installed globally: https://python-poetry.org/docs/
-
After cloning, navigate to the project directory:
cd chat_bot -
Install dependencies:
Poetry manages dependencies in a virtual environment automatically. Run the following commands to activate virtualenv and install all required packages:
poetry shell poetry install
-
Run the chatbot:
# to execute the script within the environment poetry run python main.py
Ask 'how are you?' or ask for it's name!
You can easily customize the chatbot's responses and add new keywords by modifying the greetings list and the conditional statements within the get_response function. Feel free to expand the bot's capabilities by adding more rules and interactions.
