[ADMIN’S NOTE]

The way this thread was arranged, there was really no way to cleanly split this part from the original, so I went with the way that created the least confusion. Oh well.

Hey Dave. Your work is really good.

That’s why i come now for advice:-)

I am building a chatbot, it’s my first time.The purpose is for my class project. But im stuck on something here, which method of building works for me? It’s a serious presentation going on for my final year Bachelors degree in 4 months time. Advise me please

Hi and welcome, Qui and Samilee!

@Samilee, I am very sorry for the delay in responding. I wasn’t on chatbots.org back in March, so I’m just seeing your post for the first time today. I know next to nothing about C#, so I cannot advise you in that area. My area of experience is in web-based languages (HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP), with a little bit of Visual Basic thrown in to confuse me. I wish I had better information than that, but this is what I have to work with. Sorry.

@Qui, if you don’t mind, a bit more information will help me to help you. First and foremost, what language/platform will you be wanting to use to build your chatbot? And will it be a general conversation bot, or more along the lines of an expert system? It might also help a little if I knew if this was for a major in CS, IT or some other specific field, so that I know what approach to take.

Hey Dave! Thanks for replying.  I don’t mind for the purpose of clarity so I shall.

I’m a Bachelor’s degree student in Computer Technology
The idea I have in mind is the usual conversational customer service bots for a retail website. Now, im not sure what language and method is best, why I came here

And I’d like to make that choice through experience, through someone like you!

Ok, great! that’s enough information to start, but I’m going to move this discussion into it’s own thread, so that we don’t end up “hijacking” the original. I have an early shift at work, so I won’t be able to do more than move the thread tonight, but I’ll leave it up on my browser so that when I get off work I can get right to it.
