I have developed the logic for response to the message but now im stuck with the bot configuration.

note: this question may seem duplicate but i have tried every solution to previous question i am unable to find a complete solution from scratch anywhere.

Hope any when can help me here.

You need to use the Google Talk API. More information can be found here. I have never used it before, but from what I read, you need to have to write your logic in a compatible language to interface with the API and build up from there. Very standard Google API docs, help, etc in the link.

If you know Python there is a library built for this purpose, bot allow developers to quickly and easily deploy bots. I highly recommend you use that. If you don't know Python, there is anoter guide here that explains how to do it with very minimal PHP/Perl code. If you don't know PHP or Perl, there is another resource here that explains how to do it in Node.js. IF you don't know Javascript, here is how to do it in Java.

I don't like publishing links to guides, but the API document should have been enough. These were all found with the Google search term "make a google talk bot".
