Im creating an offline chatbot and was wondering if it would be good practice to use a Bound Service or a Singleton for the parsing/response Engine?

Service and Singleton are two different concepts.

We use Singleton is a pattern to initiate and use one instance only.

Service is a component for longer-running operation that runs in background.

Bound Service:

A bound service is the server in a client-server interface. Service that binds several applications or Activities.

If you think to develop Program talks to other application, bear in mind that on Android, one process cannot normally access the memory of another process. I offer you to use AIDL (Android Interface Definition Language)
