About:
* This project demonstrates advanced knowledge of Python and the ability
to integrate various APIs into one program.
* Similar to Apple's "Siri" and Amazon's "Alexa", this virtual assistant
can answer different types of questions or perform tasks based on
commands. In this version of the project, the user types the command
or the question and the bot responds with text. In the other version of
the project, the user speaks the command or the question, and the bot
will say the response.
Setup:
1. Run the file named "setup.py". This file will install all necessary
libraries on your machine so that the bot can function. Make sure
that all the libraries install successfully.
2. Run the file named "main.py" to communicate with the bot.
