Coded and iterated from 1964 to 1967, ELIZA was developed by MIT computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum. Rudimentary by today’s standards, ELIZA was a hit at the time of its creation.

ELIZA was written by computer scientist Joseph Weizenbaum at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in just 420 lines of code.

The first chatbot, ELIZA, was created by Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT in the 1960s as a Rogerian-style "psychotherapist" using natural language communication.

An MIT professor and computer scientist, Joseph Weizenbaum, built Eliza in 1966 as a conversational interface between humans and machines.
