Tkinter is python's de-factor standard GUI (Graphical User Interface) package. While it may not be as feature-rich as other libraries like PyQt or wxPython , its simplicity and ease of use make it an ideal choice for beginners. In this post, we'll focus on implementing ELSA, a chat application with a graphical user interface.

ELSA (Emulated Learning and Speech Assistant) is a python-based chat application with a graphical user-interface (GUI) built using tkinter. It allows users to interact with a chatbot that can respond to predefined questions, provide current date and time, display images, and optionally convert text responses to speech using pyttsx3.
