💡 How It Works

When a user types a message into the input field, it's sent to the Django backend.

The views.py file contains a Python dictionary that maps common crypto-related questions or keywords to predefined answers.

The bot checks for a matching keyword or phrase and returns the appropriate response.

If no match is found, a default message is shown.
