Build Your Own Chatbot!

💬 What is a Chatbot?

A chatbot is a computer program that can have a conversation with you. Siri, Alexa, and ChatGPT are all chatbots!

🎯 Activity: Create Your Chatbot Rules

A simple chatbot works with IF/THEN rules:

• IF user says "hello" → chatbot says "Hi there! How can I help?"
• IF user says "joke" → chatbot tells a joke
• IF user says "bye" → chatbot says "Goodbye! See you soon!"

📝 Your Turn!

On a piece of paper, write 5 rules for YOUR chatbot. What questions will people ask it? What will it answer?

🚀 Next Step

When you are older, you can use Python or Scratch to make your chatbot actually work on a computer!
