Oops! The "Good luck!" should of course have been last!

Perhaps I should add that English is terribly complicated and irregular, and so whenever you use an abstract keyphrase, unless it is terribly long, you will eventually come across a case that makes your response bizarre. When this happens, you don't have to throw out the keyphrase; just figure out what the cases look like that will cause trouble, and make a special keyphrase for them. If necessary, raise the rank of this second keyphrase so that it will be preferred over the first one. Then it will grab the troublemakers.

Actually, this won't happen just once; it will keep happening! And as you keep fixing it, our bot will get better and better!

I have just made a plug-in,

(logical_connectives)

. which anyone may use, which contains phrases like "and" "or" and "unless".

A lot of us have been working with bots for a long time, keyphrase by keyphrase. By now, I believe that we must have developed some sort of wisdom about the process, and about the English language as it relates to conversational AI. It might be hard to articulate these insights, as we are often involved in working with single keyphrases. But perhaps one can think of it this way: what would allow you to take the next step? I ask this not in order to encourage anyone to trash the Forge, but rather to help the Forge evolve.

hey. what does the updated part next to a bot's name mean? i don't understand what the "cool", "warm(#)", or "hot(#)" mean.

If you work on your bot a lot, it's hot. if it's been a while it's warm, if it has sat a while it's cool.

They'll also show up as "warm" if you make one or two minor changes, but don't do any major work.

Yeah, they do for the first day or two. But when you get stuck on Lithp Day for a week (or more!), it can get to be enough to make grown men weep

Ever go to read your transcripts, and think you made some bad typos, only to find out it was COLD day, or Lisp day.
