An <\/span>AI <\/span>chatbot<\/span><\/strong> is <\/span>a <\/span>software <\/span>program <\/span>that <\/span>uses <\/span>artificial <\/span>intelligence <\/span>to <\/span>simulate <\/span>human <\/span>conversations <\/span>with <\/span>users. <\/span>It <\/span>interacts <\/span>with <\/span>visitors <\/span>through <\/span>text <\/span>or <\/span>voice, <\/span>helping <\/span>them <\/span>find <\/span>information, <\/span>solve <\/span>problems, <\/span>or <\/span>complete <\/span>tasks.<\/span><\/p>\n
