I was using a combination of https://www.nltk.org/" rel="nofollow">NLTK,https://spacy.io/" rel="nofollow">spaCy and https://textblob.readthedocs.io/en/dev/" rel="nofollow">textblob for NLP then.

    I pivoted to a rule-based bot focusing on lead capture via a linear conversation driven by user specified questions, more like an interactive version of a static form, with prescribed Q&A (FAQs on the platform).
