A chatbot can be used as text (Artificial Intelligence Chatbot Using Neural Network and Natural Language Processing) and voice (AI Talkbot Personal Assistant Using Neural Networks and NLP) for any organization.

You can build this Chabot and run it on your local machine or deploy it on a cloud within a day.
