Adding Chatbots to Web Applications: Using ASP.NET Core and Angular

Abstract

The integration of chatbots into web applications has become a prominent trend in enhancing user experience, streamlining processes, and providing immediate customer support. This paper explores the development of chatbots within web applications using ASP.NET Core and Angular, two powerful frameworks for building scalable and maintainable software solutions. By leveraging the strengths of ASP.NET Core for backend services and Angular for the frontend, developers can create sophisticated chatbots that seamlessly interact with users in real time. This paper outlines the architectural design, implementation strategies, and key considerations for adding chatbots to web applications, including natural language processing (NLP) capabilities, user interface design, and deployment best practices. The discussion extends to integrating third-party APIs, handling conversational flows, and ensuring scalability and security in production environments. Through practical examples and case studies, this paper demonstrates how to build a chatbot that not only meets functional requirements but also provides a seamless user experience. The paper concludes with insights into future trends in chatbot development, including AI-driven enhancements and the growing importance of voice-based interactions in web applications.
