# Beeliza

In 1964, an MIT researcher named Joseph Weizenbaum developed one of the
world's first chatbots - Eliza. Eliza simulated conversation using a
"pattern matching" approach, where inputs are matched against a set of
scripts, and responses chosen in response. The best known of these
"scripts" is DOCTOR, which simulates a session with a Rogerian
psychotherapist.

This app provides a bee-themed Eliza experience: a chat session, in a
native [Toga app](https://toga.beeware.org), where Brutus the Bee is
your conversation partner.

## Quickstart

To run this example:

```
$ python -m pip install toga
