Here’s a quick starter kit you can use to spin up a quick chatbot and drop in your own logic, as needed for your specific application(s). Feel free to drop any questions you might have in the comments and I will be happy to assist you in any part of the process.
In this example, we have created a class MyChatBot
with a dictionary of responses. The keys in the dictionary are user inputs (converted to lowercase for case-insensitivity), and the values are the corresponding bot responses. If the user input is not found in the dictionary, the bot responds with a default "I'm sorry, I don't understand. Please try again." message.
The __init__
method creates a window with a chat log (a scrolled text widget), an input box (an entry widget), and a submit button. The send_message
method gets the user input from the input box, sends it to the chatbot object to get a response, and displays both the user message and the bot response in the chat log. It also clears the input box.

self.responses = {
'hi': 'Hello!',
'how are you?': 'I am doing well, thank you.',
'what is your name?': 'My name is ChatBot.',
'bye': 'Goodbye!'
}
