FLOW :

User calls the flask endpoint

Sent message in the message box is sent to '/get' endpoint which calls a function on the trained natural langauge understanding module(chatterbot)

Chatterbot model returns a response

Jquery Ajax powers the request-response cycle so that there is no page reloading everytime the user sends a message or the bot returns a response
