LesBot - A Bot Experience

Inspiration

We were inspired to do this project when we realized that we wanted to make a ChatBot similar to the AI we use, like ChatGPT.

LesBot can:

Provide daily news. Provide definitions for a particular word. Provide descriptions of diseases. Provide the name of a disease by entering its symptoms Engage in a conversation Solve simple calculations

How was LesBot built

Natural Language Toolkit (NLTK):

We used the NLTK library, a powerful tool for natural language processing, to develop LesBot. This involved creating chat pairs for conversational understanding and incorporating information about common diseases. Merriam-Webster Integration:
For word definitions, LesBot integrates with the Merriam-Webster dictionary, ensuring accurate and reliable definitions.

Challenges we ran into

Time Pressure: The team encountered time constraints, which added pressure to the project. Despite this, they successfully completed the prototype.

Error Resolution: Dealing with errors can be time-consuming, and the team faced challenges in resolving them efficiently.

Limited Resources: A smaller number of laptops affected overall productivity, highlighting the importance of having adequate resources for development.

Learning NLTK: The team had to learn NLTK to execute the project, demonstrating adaptability and a willingness to acquire new skills.

Accomplishments
