I was inspired by the progression of life and how technology has grown and developed but mental health issues have also risen.
The therapy chatbot simulates a digital therapy session in which the user can talk about his/her feelings and the chatbot will empathize with it and give advice.
I built it using a Local IDE
The main challenge was related to nltk. Nltk didn't work on PythonAnywhere, which is where I started to create my project. So, I had to transfer my entire project to my laptop and work on it through the local IDE. It was my first time ever working with machine learning and NLTK, so everything was very foreign.
I'm proud of building my first ever chatbot and having it run with no errors.
I learned the basics of machine learning and how to use NLTK and apply it to real-world problems, such as mental health issues and bettering society.
Next, I want to create memory for the chatbot. Not only will it remember previous information, but it will also use that information to create more in-depth and according responses.
