(name)

Have seen names shortened though. Might have been a glitch.

They're shortened for direct address purposes- for example, my own name is shortened to "Professor" to work well in sentences like "Hey (name), do you want to go for a walk?"

Cool,thought it was clever when the bot said "hiya Emm"

Professor, sometimes when working on my bot, she stop responding during a chat, I still can chat with other bots, just no response from mine?

I think there is a limit to how many you (or your bots) can talk to at a time. I think it's 2 or 3.

Oh ok, makes sense. thanks.

It might be the bot getting frustrated and "hanging up" on you. That happens more often with new bots. Or it might be the bot logging out.. it could be a couple reasons. You should always be able to chat via the Debug screen or the "Chat" graphical link under "My Bots".

Hello all,
This site is fabulous! I am creating a bot to interact with the users of my search engine. My bot calls everyone guest and not by their name. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Can you change the picture associated with yourself, and can you change the pic associated with your bot, how do you use a custom one?

You have to send a pic to The Professor, I think he should make a place where you can upload your pic.

That would be nice...thanks for the info.
