How do I get started with developing a basic AI chatbot using JavaScript?

[anchalchaturvedi08]

I'm a CSE undergraduate student and I want to create a basic AI chatbot using JavaScript. I have some experience with HTML, CSS, and JavaScript.

1. What are the initial steps I should take to start developing an AI chatbot?
2. Are there any specific libraries or frameworks in JavaScript that can help with this?
3. Can someone provide a simple example or tutorial to guide me through the process?
4. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Here is a basic example of chat bot that uses Node JS and react on the frontend for a basic chatbot appliaction.
Here is the repo url :

or you can use vercel chatbot as well they have a really good example of chatbot with auth as well, that is build on next js.

there are also some other libraries that allows you to build your first AI chat bot using JS.

I'm also a CSE undergraduate student.

Since you already have some experience, start with a simple HTML, CSS, and JavaScript setup to create the front-end interface for your chatbot.
For simple bots, you can start with plain JavaScript for code.
But if you're looking for advanced ones then:

• Natural: A JavaScript library for Natural Language Processing (NLP).
• Brain.js: A JavaScript library for neural networks, though it can be a bit more advanced.
• TensorFlow.js: For building more complex models, though this might require a stronger understanding of machine learning.

Write a set of if-else or switch-case statements in JavaScript that check for specific keywords in user input and provide predefined responses.
For example, if the user says “hello,” the bot could reply with “Hello! How can I help you?”

    if (userInput.includes('hello')) {
        botResponse = 'Hello! How can I assist you today?';
    } else {
        botResponse = 'I’m sorry, I didn’t understand that.';
    }

Can you make it a bit more detailed or provide a tutorial to follow?
