Getting Started
Before diving into the code, let's first set up our development environment. For our project, we'll need Node.js and npm (Node Package Manager) installed on our machine. Use the following commands to install them:
sudo apt update
sudo apt install nodejs
sudo apt install npm
After the installation, you can confirm if Node.js and npm are installed correctly by checking their versions:
node -v
npm -v
Creating an AI-Powered Chatbot 🤖 💬
To create our AI-Powered chatbot, we'll be using the Node.js library node-nlp. This powerful library allows us to build a natural language processor from scratch.
Step 1: Install the node-nlp Package 📦
Let's kick start by installing the node-nlp package by running the following command in terminal:
npm install node-nlp
Step 2: Setup the Chatbot 🧩
Now that we have the necessary package installed, let's move on to setting up our chatbot.
First, create an index.js file and initiate with the following code:
const { SimilarSearch } = require('node-nlp');
const search = new SimilarSearch();
Here, we are requiring the node-nlp package and creating a new instance of SimilarSearch.
Wrapping Up! 🚀
From this point on, you can add more features to your chatbot, such as training it to recognize date and time entities, having it understand sentiment, and even teaching it various languages.
