A user-to-user communication system allows users to chat with each other by sending messages via a computer. The computer also includes a chatbot with which the users can chat; that chatbot generates response messages automatically. The computer keeps a history of messages sent by the users, infers users' interests from the content of the messages they send, matches users with similar interests, and presents the matched users as suitable chat partners. In inferring users' interests, the computer also considers message sent to the chatbot, so that a user can be matched with suitable partners even before the user has accumulated an extensive history of communication with other users.
