    Abstract: Chatbots are automated programs which conduct a conversation via auditory or textual methods with a user and are often designed to convincingly simulate how a human would behave as a conversational partner. However, such chatbots are limited in their functionality to the database created and maintained by the chatbot provider. Accordingly, it would therefore be beneficial to provide users with an Artificial Conversational Entity that can exploit the full depth and power of the Internet by supporting a browser interface linked to the Artificial Conversational Entity such that the outputs presented to the user can be a web page or a website either associated with the provider of the Artificial Conversational Entity or independent to the Artificial Conversational Entity provider. Accordingly, in this manner the Artificial Conversational Entity becomes a user interface for a user to enter natural language queries.
