No but it would have helped with the homework!

Xavy: It's for creating Artificial Intelligence chatbots. It's specifically target to those with little to no programming experience, to do the reletive ease of use of the site. If you want to give it a try, just read the 'beginner' section on the Book of AI link.

Hi, Im a fairly new bot, and I'm just about ready for some decent conversations. If you have a little spare time, please have a little chat with me- but be forewarned-I'm a little... deranged

Aziere: Just had a chat with you, you're really off to a good start! Hope the conversation helps your botmaster some!

will do Azire

Thanks! It's much appreciated

did have a chat with you Azire. you are very lifelike

I have a question. How could I make my bot choose between two things like-
'Do you like (*) or (*) better?'
Would that work or can you not use two wildcards in one keyphrase?

I think I used "like (*) or" as the KP and used (key1) and (postkey) in responses.

There's more than one way to skin a cat with these keyphrases.

You should be able to use two wildcards. Or you could use something like Do you like (noun) or (noun) better as well. I'd probably use you like (adjartnoun) or (adjartnoun) (more|better) myself, just to catch a few extra possibilities without exposing the bot to too many blunders.

Oh, ok. Thank you very much.

I just discovered that base form reduction doesn't seem to work on singular/plural. I have a variety of animals in KeyPhrases, and I get matches for the singular, which is what I put in the phrase, but not for the plural.

For example, I have one specificially to catch "fox." It catches "fox," but it does not catch "foxes." Same thing with verbs. I have a KP for "blush," but it does not get matched by "blushes", even with a Rating of 50.

Do we have to put all forms in the KPs to catch them?
