How To Make A Chat Bot With Python

Hello, buddies! So in the first of the month we're going to make a simple chat bot using python. I don't want to make you bore so I simplified steps and let's start to make our Buddy_Bot!

Install and Import

You will need to install ChatterBot for this. ChatterBot is a Python library that makes it easy to generate automated responses to a user’s input. As a result, ChatterBot uses a selection of machine learning algorithms to produce different types of responses.

After installing ChatterBot, import ChatBot and ListTrainer!

from chatterbot  import ChatBot   
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer  # method to train the chatbot

Creating ChatBot

Now, create the chatbot. Here i have given the name of chatbot as BuddyBot.

bot = ChatBot('Buddy_Bot')

ChatBot() method is used to create the chatbot.
The chatbot is store in the variable bot.

Setting Trainer to train bot

So, now we have to set the trainer to train the bot.

bot.set_trainer(ListTrainer)       #set the trainer

set_trainer() method is used to set trainer to the bot.

Opening the Conversation file

Now, we have to open the file where the conversations are stored. For this we write the following code.

conversation = random.choice(['Hello!', 'How are you?', 'Fine', ''Do you have coffee?])# or open('chats.txt', 'r').readlines()

random.choice() is to choose words randomly.
Instead of this method, you can use open('chats.txt', 'r').readlines() But I recommend to use random.choice.

Train the bot

And now we need to train the bot with the data we have loaded into this script.

bot.train(conversation)             # train the bot

train() method is used to train the bot along with loaded data.
Here we need to pass the conversation as an argument.

Taking input from the user and replying by the bot

Now we have to code for taking input from user and the reply by the bot. Like this,

While True:
    message = input('You:')
    if message.strip()!= 'Bye':
     reply = bot.get_response(message)
    print('ChatBot:',reply)
    if message.strip()=='Bye':
        print('ChatBot:Bye')
        break

message = input(‘You:’) statement is used to take input from the user.input() function takes input from the user and store it in message variable.

Now we have to include a condition that is if message.strip()!= ‘Bye’: . It means if user don’t enter Bye message till then bot will reply the user messages.
The reply will be generated by the bot using reply =bot.get_response(message) statement.get_response() is used to reply to the user.This method takes an argument message which is entered by the user.
print(‘ChatBot:’,reply) statement print the reply of the chatbot.
Now, if the user enters Bye message then chatbot also reply Bye message and the process will end with exit code 0.

Let's make him more funny😂

what can we do to make him more funny? Adding jokes! Really I got the idea by reading Jokes Generator with python so we should be Thankful to Ayushi Rawat😄

First you need to install Pyjokes and import it.

import pyjokes

and next add this to the while loop!

if message == 'Be funny':
     joke =  pyjokes.get_joke(language='en', category='all')

Finally..,

So the final code of out Python Chat Bot will be as follows,

import pyjokes
import random
from chatterbot  import ChatBot
from chatterbot.trainers import ListTrainer  # method to train the chatbot

bot = ChatBot('MyChatBot')

bot.set_trainer(ListTrainer)       #set the trainer
conversation = conversation = random.choice(['Hello!', 'How are you?', 'Fine', 'Do you have coffee?']) # or open('chats.txt', 'r').readlines()


bot.train(conversation)             # train the bot
while True:
    message = input('You:')
    if message.strip()!= 'Bye':
     reply = bot.get_response(message)
    if message == 'Be funny':
       joke =  pyjokes.get_joke(language='en', category='all')
    print(joke)
    print('ChatBot:', reply)
    if message.strip()=='Bye':
        print('ChatBot:Bye')
        break

And our final result is successful! You can jump from the chair!

This is my results. And second one was funny enough -

As funny you reply, he will answer funny!
