INTRODUCTION

1.1 Introduction to Chatbot

A chatbot is a computer program designed to simulate conversation with human users, especially
over the Internet. It is a type of artificial intelligence (AI) application that uses natural language
processing (NLP) to understand and respond to user inputs in a conversational manner. Chatbots
can be implemented in various platforms, such as messaging apps, websites, or standalone
applications, and they serve a wide range of purposes across different industries.

The primary goal of a chatbot is to provide an interactive and user-friendly experience by engaging
in conversations with users. This interaction can be in the form of answering questions, providing

information, assisting with tasks, or even facilitating transactions.

1.2 Types of Chatbot

Rule-based Chatbots:

 These chatbots operate based on predefined rules and patterns.

 They follow a set of programmed instructions to understand user inputs and respond
accordingly.

 Rule-based chatbots are suitable for relatively straightforward and predictable interactions.

AI-Powered Chatbots:

 These chatbots leverage artificial intelligence and machine learning to understand and +
generate responses.

 They use natural language processing (NLP) algorithms to interpret user input, allowing

for more dynamic and context-aware conversations.

1.4 Languages Used:

1.4.1 Java-script
Java-script is a lightweight, interpreted programming language. It is designed for creating network-
centric applications. It is complimentary to and integrated with Java. Java-script is very easy to
implement because it is integrated with HTML. It is open and cross-platform. Once you have
learned Java-script, it helps you in developing great front-end as well as back-end software using
different Java-script based frameworks like jQuery, NodeJS etc.

Java-script is used to create interactive websites. It is mainly used for:

 Client-side validation
 Displaying pop-up windows and dialog boxes

1.4.2 HTML

HTML, which stands for Hyper Text Markup Language, is the standard markup language used to
create and design web pages. It is the backbone of most web content, providing a structured and
semantic way to organize and present information on the internet. HTML is essential for building
the basic structure of a web page and is often used in conjunction with other technologies such as
Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) and JavaScript.

1.4.3 Cascading Style Sheets

Cascading Style Sheets, commonly known as CSS, is a stylesheet language used to describe the
presentation of a document written in HTML or XML (including XML dialects like SVG or
XHTML). CSS defines how elements should be displayed on a web page, including their layout,
colours, fonts, spacing, and other visual aspects. The separation of content (HTML) and
presentation

APPLICATION ARCHITECTURE
In order to make a chatbot we need to work on main 2 aspects of our project. These are as follows:

 Front-End

Front-End is the user side of our application. It is that region of our website using which the

user interacts with our website. We have made this using Html, CSS, Java-script. Html file

gives us the general structure of our webpage. CSS elements is used to style our website and

finally, we use Java-script to add scripts to make our website more interactive.

 Back-End

The back end of our website uses vanilla Java-script in order to give responses to the user.

PROJECT MODULE DESIGN

Firstly, we start with the main HTML portion.

Initially we make the head portion in which we add the title of our project and we link all the scripts
and design files.
