Chatbot using c#

This is a simple chatbot written in C#, although it's a basic skeleton but you can extend the knowledge base(KB) in external xml file.

//Basic cahtterbot in c# console
class Chatterbot2
{
// KB = Knowledge base as string array, this can be extended with an xml file with request & response
static string[,] KnowledgeBase =
{
{"what is your name","my name is chatterbot2."},
{"hi","hi there!",},
{"how are you","i'm doing fine!"},
{"who are you","i'm an a.i program."},
{"are you intelligent","yes,ofcorse."},
{"are you real","does that question really matters to you?"}
};
//search for an answer in the kb
static string findMatch(string str){
string result = "";
for(int i=0; i < KnowledgeBase.GetUpperBound(0); ++i)
{
if(KnowledgeBase[i,0].Equals(str))
{
result = KnowledgeBase[i,1];
break;
}
}
return result;
}
//main
public static void Main()
{
Console.Title="Chatterbot2";
while(true)
{
Console.Write("> ");
string sInput = Console.ReadLine();
sInput = sInput.ToLower();
string sResponse = findMatch(sInput);
if(sInput.Equals("bye") || sInput.Equals("bio"))
{
Console.WriteLine("it was nice talking to you user,see you next time!");
Console.In.Read();
break;
}
else if(sResponse.Length == 0)
{
Console.WriteLine("i'm not sure if i understand what you are talking about.");
}
else
{
Console.WriteLine(sResponse);
}
}
}
}
