Testing the Chatbot

To test the chatbot, open the chat interface in your browser and try the following:

1. Ask predefined HR questions:

   • "How many leaves do I have left?"
   • "What is the work-from-home policy?"
   • "What is the procedure for applying for leave?"
   • "When is the payroll disbursed?"

2. Submit a leave request:

   • "I want to take leave from 2024-05-10 to 2024-05-15" (or use natural language like "I want to take leave from May 10th to May 15th").
   • Confirm the leave request by typing "yes".

   The leave request will be simulated and the details will be written to the leave_requests.txt file.
