  A sample of the chaos...

Inspiration

• Chat bots becoming increasingly prevalent and more humanlike
• Increasing focus on mental health and combatting loneliness
• My love for memes and the belief that a little humor goes a long way

What it does

Hi! This is EmoBot, an emotional support chat bot where you can tell it how you're feeling, and it will respond with a fun meme for a wide range of emotions! It does this by detecting key words in your response and ranking them on a scale to determine the main emotion in order to respond appropriately.
