Welcome to the wonderful world of Ted, a multipurpose chatbot created with Python3! Whether you need someone to chat with or help with your daily tasks, Ted is here to meet your needs, utilizing the power of Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Deep Learning. In this article, we’ll explore the steps to get Ted up and running on your system.

About This Project

Ted analyzes your messages, categorizes them, and responds appropriately. The chatbot is hosted using Flask and can be accessed through a link hosted on Heroku. Its sleek interface makes it user-friendly, allowing you to easily communicate with Ted.

Getting Started with Ted

Running Ted locally on your machine is a breeze! Just follow these step-by-step instructions:

Step 1: Clone the Repository

• Open your Command Prompt.
• Run the following command:

git clone https://github.com/Karan-Malik/Chatbot.git

Step 2: Change to the Chatbot Directory

cd Chatbot

This command will take you into the directory where Ted’s files are located.

Step 3: Install Required Libraries

• Check the requirements.txt file for necessary libraries.
• If you find any missing libraries, install them individually using:

pip install Your-library-name

Step 4: Run the Application

Now it’s time to get Ted to work!

• Run the following commands:

set FLASK_APP=chatbot.py

flask run

Step 5: Access Ted

Once the previous commands run successfully, navigate to the URL provided in your command prompt using a web browser. Ted is now ready to chat with you!

Understanding Ted’s Functionality

Imagine Ted as a helpful assistant who understands what you’re saying, sorts your requests into categories like a librarian filing books, and provides the right information, just when you need it. This is accomplished through NLP and Deep Learning, which allows Ted to learn from the conversations and improve over time.

Troubleshooting

If you encounter any issues while running Ted, consider the following solutions:

• If the application doesn’t start, verify your Python installation and ensure you are using the correct version.
• Double-check that all required libraries are installed correctly by referring to requirements.txt.
• If you see errors related to Flask, ensure that the FLASK_APP environment variable is set correctly.
• Clear your browser’s cache and try the URL again if Ted does not load.
