Chatbot
A Chatbot is a software application designed to simulate human-like conversations with users, either through text dialogues or voice interfaces, historically powered by rule-based patterns and now by Large Language Models.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do rule-based chatbots differ from AI chatbots?▼
Rule-based chatbots rely on pre-written decision trees and keywords. AI chatbots use natural language understanding and LLMs to generate context-appropriate, flexible responses dynamically.
What is the role of context history in chatbot systems?▼
It retains user messages across turns, allowing the chatbot to follow pronoun references (e.g. "it") and maintain a cohesive, multi-turn conversation flow.
