Create an AI Chatbot to provide the
joyous conversations for users
Inspired by the desire to capture the comforting and joyous conversations with a grandmother, the endearing and whimsical chatbot named Bibi was brought to life.
This charming and eccentric virtual grandma infuses humor and amusement into the lives of those who welcome her presence. Bibi caters to the young-at-heart (aged 13 and above) with a penchant for cartoons and a yearning for laughter. While she may occasionally lack propriety and surprise you, her lighthearted advice is not to be taken literally, but undoubtedly serves to brighten someone's day!
