I know I'm skipping basics and trying to get my bot to do some advanced stuff but, how do I get my bot to remember me and other people it chats with? Do I have to make a key-phrase for when someone ask "Do you remember me?" Or is it something to do with X-keywords?
Do seeks not work on xinitiate? I have a simple yes no seek but my bot won't respond to either of them.
who are you should cover who're you. Things like
you are will cover you're etc.
the keyphrase would look like
seeks seldom work in xinitiate.

I don't know how well The Professor takes to suggestions, but my #1 would be for negative seeks. That is, some way to say 'if the user's response does not contain this, move on to this'.
Very often, I find myself trying to squeeze in more characters than are allowed in a seek because I'm trying to cover the most probable responses that aren't something I'd want to break out of a seek chain, when it would be much quicker to specify what those exceptions should be.
EDIT: Although, explaining this has made me think that I could use a soft wildcard seek and then <?PF if (key1) is not "exception1"; if (key1) is not "exception2"; ?> and so on. Silly me.

Couldn't you use (*) as a seek to encompass everything you don't have a seek for? But you'd need a way to rank it under your other seeks.
I don't know if you can do that. I'm a newbie. :-)

That's what I normally do, but unfortunately, that often seems to result in the bot going to that response no matter what the user's input is, whether it's specified in another seek or not.
Sometimes it works as you describe, but much of the time it goes to the wildcard regardless.
Before the relaunch of PF, it seemed like you could rank the wildcard seek below the other seeks by ensuring that it sat above them (as if seeks were read from the bottom, up), but that doesn't seem reliable anymore.
Also, I've now learned that my if (key1)<0> workaround isn't valid. Hmph. So I guess the suggestion stands.

Just use xnomatch for your seek. the wild card will not always work alone
ssomething like
knock,knock knock [75,0] <?PF remember "knock knock jokes" as only "sub" ?>
Who's there? <?PF express: asking; ?>
+ xnomatch [0]
(key1) who.?'
+ xnomatch [0]
Tee hee hee haw! <?PF express: happy; ?>
DON'T USE THE WILD CARD SEEK

How have I gone over the Book of AI so many times and never read the xnomatch bit? You're a life saver.
For those that might be interested in this: Here the keyphrase that catches inputs with at least 4 capital letters and no lowercase letters:
^(?-i)[^a-z]*([A-Z][^a-zA-Z]*){4,}[^a-z]*$(re)
resp.
^(?-i)[^a-z]*([A-Z][^a-zA-Z]*){4,}[^a-z]*$(re) [0,0] <?PF raw; ?>
(for another minimum number of capital letters change the 4 in {4,}.)
For those that know what it means: the matches to the numbered RegEx groups 1 through 9 are filled into (key1) through (key9). (I tested it before the Great Crash.)

will work too. If you rank it low it won't interfere with keyphrases you all ready have, but will work as an xnone for shouting..

Is your cap lock stuck?
