Chatbot

A chatbot is an AI-powered system designed to simulate conversation with human users, typically through text-based interfaces but increasingly through voice interactions as well. Modern chatbots leverage natural language processing and machine learning to understand user intent, maintain context throughout conversations, and provide relevant, helpful responses. The evolution of chatbots has been dramatic, moving from simple rule-based systems that could only handle specific keywords to sophisticated AI assistants like ChatGPT, Claude, and Google's Bard that can engage in complex, contextual conversations. These advanced chatbots can help with a wide range of tasks including answering questions, providing customer support, assisting with writing, solving problems, and even creative tasks. The integration of large language models has made chatbots more natural, context-aware, and capable of handling nuanced conversations.
