Chat with AI! (type 'quit' to exit)
----------------------------------------

You: Hi! My name is Alex.

AI: Hello, Alex! It's nice to meet you. How can I help you today?

You: What's my name?

AI: Your name is Alex! You just told me. Is there anything you'd like
to chat about?

You: Can you suggest a good book for a beginner programmer?

AI: Absolutely, Alex! I'd recommend "Automate the Boring Stuff with
Python" by Al Sweigart. It's free to read online, written for complete
beginners, and teaches Python through practical, real-world projects
like renaming files, web scraping, and automating spreadsheets.

You: quit

Goodbye!
