The big project we were tasked with over the 2 weeks was creating a Recycle chat bot that could use a list of items called "entities" which are the individual items for example: Paper, Card, Engine oil. Using word lists called "intents" which would be all the different ways to say a phrase for e.g.: Hello, Hi, Hey, ect. Paring the entites and intents together would be a function called "dialouge" which would be the text it would display after given certain word strings for e.g.: Hello, can i recycle Asbestos?. To wich our chatbot would respond with "yes you can" or "no you can't" with several variations of those phrases, howver if an item could be recycled it would tell us how and if it can or can't be done at home.

Myself and my partner Charlie choose the name "C.H.A.D" for this project which was an acronym for Computer, Housed, Artificial Discusser. The reasoning behind choosing this name was because in stories and media the name Chad is often used to portay a dumber character so we choose to make something intelligent with the name to try reclaim a bit of meaing to the name. There were a handfull of problems in creating C.H.A.D one of which required an entire rework of the project 2 days before it was due, what happed was we hit a entity limit of 100 so we removed the to rework and imporve the selection. However in doing this we had nothing for 3 days as without entites the diaouges didn't do anything, therefore on the dealine of 2 days till due I sat infront of this entitie list and reworked it and the dialouge list untill we had a functional project and a video presentaion presenting C.H.A.D to IBM.
