🛠️ What You Will Create

This project will guide you through the process of building a chatbot that can engage in conversations with users using natural language processing. The chatbot utilizes Microsoft DialoGPT, a powerful pre-trained conversational model, to generate human-like responses.

Throughout this project, you will:

• 🖥️ Set up a Flask server to handle requests.
• 💻 Create an interactive chat interface using HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and jQuery.
• 🤖 Integrate DialoGPT to provide conversational functionality.
• 📈 Optionally fine-tune the DialoGPT model for more specific conversational needs.
