title: AI chatbot with Ruby on Rails
body: <p>I would like to develop a chatbot directly inside my Rails app (maybe whatsapp/messenger in the future, but let's begin within my app first).</p>
  
  <p>I've checked online but I find a lot of different ressources and I am not sure which tools I should use.</p>
  
  <p>The chatbot is not for marketing purposes only, it should be able to interact with my controllers and give back some content to the user.
  For exemple, I want the user to be able to ask "what is my balance?" or "show me my last transaction" or "how many bills do I have to pay this month?"</p>
  
  <p>In the future I would like to use ML to make the bot "smarter" and make suggestions to the user, but that's not a priority.</p>
  
  <p>What tools and what steps would you recommend to follow in order to achieve this? 
  Any gems you recommend? Any tutorial that could help?
  Is it possible to do this inside my rails app and using Ruby?</p>
  
  <p>I am ready to try by myself but the content I find on Google is messy and I want to know the best way to do this so I don't lose hours with software that are not really good..</p>
  
  <p>Thanks for your help</p>
