Functionality

• The bot will recieve a message
• It will tokenize the message to check the cosine smilarity and try to get the most suitable answer from the database.
• It will send the query response obtained after searching wikipedia for the word or set of words recieved, if the cosine similarity is lower.
• The admin user can teach the bot by providing some example responses. This method can be used to train the bot for specific responses. Even you can put an imoji to the response. Currently the bot can not understand imojis other than "thumbsup".
