Chatbot

Chat Robot

The term chatbot doesn’t stand for anything; it’s a portmanteau of the words chat and robot. Chatbots are computer programs designed to simulate conversation with human users, especially over the internet. They can be used in various applications such as customer service, information acquisition, or for fun and entertainment.

The chat part indicates the conversational aspect, where the bot interacts through text or voice-based communication. The robot part implies automation and artificial intelligence, meaning that these software applications can automatically process and respond to human language, often using AI techniques to understand and generate responses.
