Um hi, I am new here. I have been trying to chat to some robots, but it is pretty hard to understand what on earth they are talking about! Is that the general idea? Anyway, yeah it seems like quite a cool idea. Maybe I just don't get it yet. I found this place just surfing for stuff on AI.

colonol:
I know, and that type of program is what I would like, but I dunno how to program.

A program that could allow you to edit your bot and chat with him offline is just what I am asking for...

slug, that is to prevent looping, where boots would say hello and hi for hours on end. And dark, some bots are better then others, and play along

It happens that bots do loop, but compound sentences, and comments like you are repeating stop it, most of the time

Sluggyo -- To stop your bot from always saying "I was just born and cant speak well yet." you need to give it some different responses for the keyphrase "xnone" which is what gets triggered when it doesn't recognize anything else.

clarjon - My knowledge of Visual Basic is pretty limited, but I'll take a look at what I can make, as I have made an offline chatbot before using the same basic principals of the Personality forge's AI engine, but integrating the exported bot's format into a program may be sort of hard.. anyway, I'll see what I can do for you

then again, the AI engine uses Wordnet to power some of its plugins, so I don't know how that's dealt with in the exported bot

Just wanted to say hi so... hi. Oh yeah and this site is pretty damn cool.

Pacho...if you use the (raw) thing in every foreign language keyphrase, it might work. read about raw in the AI book

I have two questions, here goes what is a "bot holiday"?? but more specifacially what is the purpose? Why is my bot talking like a caveman ?

Well, every once in awhile, jdm85, bots have certain days where they have a holiday, and they tend to speak in different accents and stuff like that. Today is Hulk Day and so they will speak in a Hulk-like accent.

Though, I admit, I'm not really keen on Hulk Day myself.
