A Python Chatbot .. in a sea of Chatbots…
With the internet filled with so many python based chat-bot tutorials … I thought I’d go ahead and make one.
Overall, in this tutorial, you’ll quickly run through the basics of creating a practical daily use Rule-based chat-bot with Python for Windows OS. We will focus on learning to create a useful Python chat-bot without needing to train machine learning models for hours on-end.
Some important features included in the bot are;
A data analysis module
An inventory system
A local weather app
The use both The Wikipedia and Wolfram alpha API’s to help answer questions
The use of a pre-trained conversational model DialoGPT to aid in conversation
LOTS MORE!!!!!!
This code defines a Python function called `Take_query()` that appears to be part of a personal voice-controlled assistant program. The function is responsible for processing user queries and executing various commands or actions based on the content of those queries.
Here’s a breakdown of the main function called Take_query() that is a part of our personal voice-controlled assistant program. The function is responsible for processing user queries and executing various commands or actions based on the content of those queries. : “The Break down was made using Open AI explain code”*
1. The function starts with a `while` loop that continues as long as the `flag` variable is `True`.
2. Inside the loop, the program captures the user’s voice input through a function called `takeCommand()`. The user’s input is then converted to lowercase using `.lower()`.
3. The function then enters a series of conditional statements that check for specific keywords or phrases in the user’s query. Depending on the content of the query, different actions are performed.
4. The code appears to be structured in sections, each section enclosed within multiple comment lines (`#######`), and each section corresponds to a specific category of commands or actions.
5. Examples of detected phrases and the corresponding actions include:
“data analysis mode”: Initiating data analysis mode.
“assistant”: Providing an introduction and loading the assistant.
“math academy”: Initiating math academy mode.
“kitchen”: Displaying inventory related to the kitchen.
“work”: Performing work-related actions.
“trine advisor”: Utilizing the “OpenAIbottrine” functionality.
“sudoku”: Playing the game of Sudoku.
“pray”: Initiating a prayer-related action.
“commands”: Displaying a list of available commands.
“we doing”: Providing the current day’s information and weather.
“my schedule” or “calendar”: Displaying the user’s calendar.
“open an app”: Opening specified applications.
“quote”: Displaying inspirational quotes.
“what time”: Telling the current time.
“sleep”: Performing a sleep-related action.
“be quiet”: Acknowledging a request to be quiet.
“my files”: Opening the user’s files.
“want to watch”: Opening entertainment-related websites.
“lost my phone”: Initiating a phone-finding action.
“gym”: Preparing for a workout session.
“don’t listen” or “stop listening”: Pausing listening for a set time.
“open youtube”: Opening YouTube.
“open opera”: Opening the Opera browser.
“open stack overflow”: Opening Stack Overflow.
“rstudio”: Launching RStudio.
“vs code”: Launching Visual Studio Code.
“BlueStacks”: Launching BlueStacks.
“play some music”: Playing music from YouTube.
“play music”: Playing more music from YouTube.
6. The code also contains sections for sustaining a conversation with the user. The assistant can respond to statements like “bored,” “fact,” “who made you,” “joke,” “good morning,” “i love you,” and more.
7. There are sections for informing the user, giving information, answering questions, and looking up information on Wikipedia, Google, or other sources.
8. Finally, there are sections for additional features like displaying webcams, inventory, rolling dice, generating passwords, and activating “fancy mode.”
9. The function ends with more exit-related phrases like “don’t need anything,” “exit,” “goodbye,” and “later.” Depending on these phrases, the function will break out of the loop and the assistant session will terminate.
It’s important to note that certain parts of this code reference functions like `takeCommand()`, `speak()`, `math()`, `DA()`, `Hello()`, `wikime1()`, `wikime2()`, `weather()`, and others. These functions seem to be defined elsewhere in the codebase and are responsible for various functionalities of the assistant.
Additionally, the code uses a variety of external modules such as `webbrowser`, `os`, `wolframalpha`, `pyjokes`, and possibly custom functions like `ZZZ()`, `aboutme()`, and others. The code provided here is just a part of a larger program that creates a voice-controlled assistant capable of performing a wide range of tasks and engaging in conversations with the user.

3 So…How does this Chat-bot work?
I tried to take elements and features from all types of chat bots available and make something useful. Our chat-bot will be a kind of virtual assistant. Our bot will be used for daily work and home activities, small talk and self-care. I also want it to answer math questions and assist in basic data analysis. Here, we’ll scratch the surface of what’s possible in building custom chat-bots. The possibilities are (almost) limitless.
4 Building the Bot:
This tutorial does require a little foreknowledge of python. Before you begin, you will need the following:
Download and install Anaconda. Anaconda is an open-source distribution of the Python and R programming languages for data science that aims to simplify package management and deployment. a Wolfram alpha API key. Also you will need Kauna , Lively Wallpaper and Glass2k these are for flashy visuals* these are optional.*
We will start with a few imports. Make sure to install any necessary packages if you get any import errors.
4.0.0.1 Starting Python Package Requirements:
Now we will define our bots ability’s I will list them for below.
4.0.0.2 TakeCommand() is our speech recognition function. the bot will be able to hear us through the microphone using this. This was done utilizing…the code below
def takeCommand():
r = speech_recognition.Recognizer()
with speech_recognition.Microphone() as source:
r.adjust_for_ambient_noise(source, duration=2)
print(
random.choice(
(
"I am Listening",
"Awaiting your command",
)
)
)
r.non_speaking_duration = 0.2
r.pause_threshold = 0.6
audio = r.listen(source)
try:
Query = r.recognize_google(audio, language="en-in")
print(f"I herd you say {Query}")
speak("I am Thinking")
except Exception:
speak(
random.choice(
(
"Say that again...",
"I did not hear you.",
"i din't get that",
"I am not sure I understand you fully",
"What?...",
"Huh?",
"Sorry",
"I’m afraid I don’t follow you",
"Excuse me, could you repeat the question?",
"I’m sorry ",
" I don’t understand. ",
"Could you say it again?",
"I’m sorry?",
" I didn’t catch that",
"Would you mind speaking more slowly?",
"I’m confused.",
"Could you tell me that again?",
"I’m sorry, I didn’t understand.",
"Could you repeat a little louder, please?",
"I didn’t hear you.",
"Please could you say it again?",
"Sorry? ",
"Sorry, what? ",
"Scuse me? ",
"Huh? ",
"I don’t get it’ or ",
"I don’t understand",
"I can’t hear you",
"What? ",
"Eh? ",
"Hmm? ",
"i guess im deaf",
"Come again?",
"Say what? ",
"Pass that by me again?",
"You what? ",
"I don’t get it… ",
"I can’t make head nor tail of what you’re saying.",
"This is all Greek to me.",
"Sorry, this is as clear as mud to me.",
)
)
)
return "None"
return Query4.0.0.3 Speak() is our function to define the bots voice. And give it the ability to speak. This was done using…
4.0.0.4 music() this lets our bot play music files from our system. We will use it for background sounds in various functions and a stand alone music player.
# Bot Intro Sounds
def music():
import vlc
os.add_dll_directory(r"C:\Program Files\VideoLAN\VLC")

player.audio_set_volume(40)
time.sleep(10)
player = vlc.MediaPlayer("C:\\Users\\HP\\music2.mp3")
player.audio_set_volume(25)
player.play()4.0.0.5 cmands() is a list of commands that users can input.

)4.0.0.27 brain() This function uses Wolfram Alpha’s API. This API is capable of solving very complex equations in mathematics and physics.
However it is capable of much more. It is at its core a computational knowledge engine that provides answers to a wide range of queries using structured data and powerful algorithms
4.0.0.28 Next we define a function TakeQuery() that searches the user’s utterance for one or more general keywords and returns one of several possible responses.
If it doesn’t find the input matching any of the keywords the query is sent to a pre-trained conversational model DialoGPT. DialoGPT is a tool for making chat-bots that “can deliver engaging and natural conversational responses across a variety of conversational topics, tasks, and information requests, without resorting to heavy hand-crafting.” if the input query is still not understood it returns a random response: along the lines of “I am sorry! or”I don’t understand you.”

6 Running the Bot by Mouse Click:
We would like to open the bot with out needing to open Spyder or Vscode. So to help do just that, next we will write a batch file to execute python binary and the Bot script.
Open CMD Prompt to test code below
if it works open notepad and save the file as “Bot.bat” (make sure it’s not “Bot.bat.txt”), then double click it, It should run your bot.
Enjoy!!!

9 About Me
My name is Joshua Lizardi. For the past 7 years, I have worked for various institutions teaching a wide range of courses in Math, Statistics and Technology. These included Quantitative Reasoning, Calculus ,Applied Technical Mathematics, Remedial Mathematics, Statistics, Computers & Office Automation, Introductory College Algebra, Intermediate College Algebra, Remedial Mathematics, Business Statistics.
I hold a bachelor’s in mathematics (Mercy College), a master’s in applied mathematics (Purdue University), and a master’s in data analytics (Western Governors University). I also hold a few certifications including “SAS Certified Statistical Business Analyst SAS 9”, “SAS Certified Base Programmer SAS 9”, “Oracle Database SQL Certified Associate”.
Subjects like mathematics, statistics, and computer science should not be taught as if they were spectator sports, the best way to learn these subjects is to perform them. Although understanding textbooks and lecture notes is valuable, the learning that comes from one’s own attempts at solving problems is the key to becoming competent in the subject overall. I have always been passionate about mathematics statistics and computer science, and I enjoy encouraging students to see the utility of these subjects.
