Abstract
This project focuses on building a simple text-based chatbot using Natural Language
Processing (NLP) libraries like NLTK and spaCy in Python. The chatbot interacts with
users by identifying intents based on user input and responding with relevant answers.
This demonstrates how basic NLP and rule-based logic can be combined to simulate
conversational AI effectively.

Introduction
Chatbots have become a popular tool for user interaction in various fields such as cus-
tomer support, education, and healthcare. This project presents a text-based chatbot
developed using Python’s NLTK and spaCy libraries. The bot is capable of greeting
users, answering simple queries, and handling basic conversation using natural language
processing techniques.

Tools & Technologies


The following tools and libraries were used in this project:
• Python: Main programming language.
• NLTK (Natural Language Toolkit): Used for tokenization and basic NLP
preprocessing.
• spaCy: Used for intent detection and named entity recognition.
• VS Code: IDE used to write and run the code.

doc ) :
28 return " goodbye "
29 else :

32 def chat () :
33 print ( " ChatBot : Hello ! Type ’ bye ’ to exit . " )
34 while True :
35 user_input = input ( " You : " )
36 if user_input . lower () in [ ’ bye ’ , ’ exit ’ , ’ quit ’ ]:
37 print ( " ChatBot : " , random . choice ( responses [ " goodbye "
]) )
38 break
39 intent = get_intent ( user_input )
40 reply = random . choice ( responses [ intent ])
41 print ( " ChatBot : " , reply )

43 if __name__ == " __main__ " :
44 chat ()

Conclusion
This project showcases how basic natural language processing techniques using NLTK
and spaCy can be applied to build a simple conversational chatbot. While the chatbot
is rule-based, it lays a strong foundation for further development using machine learn-
ing and deep learning for advanced conversational AI. This practical implementation
demonstrates the usefulness of Python NLP libraries in creating engaging and responsive
applications.
