❔ Better user experience inputting commands

How would I get input from a user, the fancy way? What I mean is that for example when a user types 'could you run {appname}?' that it runs the application. I want a project of mine to be like talking to the program instead of executing commands

How advanced do you want this? It's easy to make a few pre-programmed patterns, but if you want something like ChatGPT then you're on a completely separate magnitude of complexity.

I think a few pre-programmed patterns would be fine

string input = Console.ReadLine() ?? "";

if (input.StartsWith("could you start ", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
    string appName = input[16..];
    // etc.
}

string input = Console.ReadLine() ?? "";

if (input.StartsWith("could you start ", StringComparison.InvariantCultureIgnoreCase))
{
    string appName = input[16..];
    // etc.
}

this is of course very crude, but it could probably work
