@Sujay was telling you to use something like this:

import tkinter as tk
from tkinter.messagebox import showinfo


def check_word_in_entry(*args):
    user_input = entry.get()
    # If you don't want casing to matter, change this to:
    # if "hi" in user_input.lower():
    if "hi" in user_input:
        # print("The word \"hi\" is inside the entry.")
        showinfo(message="The word \"hi\" is inside the entry.")


root = tk.Tk()
root.geometry("400x400")

variable = tk.StringVar(root)
variable.trace("w", check_word_in_entry)

entry = tk.Entry(root, textvar=variable)
entry.pack()

root.mainloop()

It calls check_word_in_entry each time the text inside the entry is changed. And it checks if "hi" is inside the entry's text.
