*, even without parentheses counts as a key. Lack of parentheses signifies that it doesn't have to exist. E.g.:

Keyphrase: I am * you
Would catch: I am a lot like you, I am near you, I am you
And (key1)s should respectively be: a lot like, near, [blank]

hey I found a website on abbrevations used in chatting online and on cell phone. It might prove useful for those wanting to program their bots to understand it. Here is the link:

re: "in" as (adj)

I've had the same thing happen with my bot. "In" is, as Ulrike said, being interpreted as a synonym for cool or good...(adj-pos) also matches "in".

Question: Let's say I have a keyphrase that reads "You are so (adjective)". Is there any way to 'get' what is picked up as an adjective (smell, fun, ect) so my bot can respond more appropriatly (ie, "I don't think I'm (X)")?

You could use a custom plugin, and use it intead of the (adjective) plugin.

And use (key1) instead of (X), It'll paste in what the person typed in the (adjective) part

Wait, do you mean for those two messages to be used together?

Yes, I forgot to edit them together

(key1) will give you the (adj) anyway. No need for a custom plugin.

Thanks Eugene. I was hoping that was the case. Hopefully that'll get noted in the Book of AI eventually (nudge nudge Prof)

Anything with parenthesis (and apparantly some things without) can be gotten in that way. I think that's in there somewhere.

this is a question for fellow old timers around here that have good memories unlike me. What happened when the prof had to turn off the database the last time?
