Recent days an unprecedented increase in cyber- attacks is seen globally. There are several cyber-bullied victims that commit suicide every year consequence of their sensitive information being publicized. The victims who are being bullied or blackmailed need mental support and guidance on how to react. And some of the victims due to defamation may go as far as taking their lives. So we’ve built an AI chat-bot specifically for cyber bully victims as they may not directly plea for human help. Conversing with bots might seem secure and reassuring than to have a conversation with humans as bots maintain secrecy. The bot comprehends user's query and responds accordingly using Natural language Processing (NLP) and Natural language understanding (NLU), which mainly includes three features such as providing guidance on how to approach concerned authorities, providing information regarding cyber bullying as well as mental health and also assisting their mental health. We integrated our chatbot into a website which is created using html, css and javascript and then deployed it locally.
