🧩 Chatbot Logic

• Loads database.json with predefined questions and answers.
• Uses difflib.get_close_matches to find the closest matching question.
• Returns a random matching answer.
• If no match is found (in terminal mode), the user can teach it a new response, which gets saved to the JSON file.
