when get_response('hey') is called, hey 1 and hey 2 are the only ones given, why is that? and how can i have multiple responses available when users type 'hey', i want it to randomly generate between hey 1 hey 2 and hey 3

Answer 1

use the Corpus trainer, it works much better than from a text file, and delete your database every time to make sure you are getting the proper output.

trainer = ChatterBotCorpusTrainer(chatbot)
trainer.train('chatterbot.corpus.custom')
