Simple Chat bot using react-simple-chatbot

This code is a React component that creates a simple chatbot using the “react-simple-chatbot” library. The chatbot has several steps, each with a message and options for the user to choose from. The options determine which step to trigger next. The final step ends the chatbot session with a message “Awesome! You finished my summary.” The <ChatBot /> component takes in the steps prop, which is an array of objects, each representing a step in the chatbot conversation. The component is exported and rendered in the returned JSX of the App function, it will show a simple chatbot with a few steps.
