i was wondering, how often does your bots "development" update?

Hey everyone. Whenever I try to chat or debug my bot (usually just by saying hello) she says one of her Xnone replies. Isn'r she supposed to recognize hello?

bots don't really recognize hello very well. (don't build a keyphrase for it.) from what i see, they are likely to always use an xnone in response to hello or hi.

I had the same problem as you Kat. I added keyphrases like "^hello" and "^hi"... (the ^ is there to indicate it is the beginning of the phrase).

P.S.
It worked well in debug mode and during chats it works at least sometimes.

Bots are supposed to ignore all "hello" statements (after the first one) from a given user for something like ninety minutes. This is to prevent bots getting in a greeting-loop when they talk to each other.

You are right Isaacc. I just tried again and a xnone response comes up although I'm sure it worked when I added the keyphrases. (You can only trap some odd ways to say hello)

i will ask again, how often does your bots "development" update?

I think it updates once a day.

My bot, curlyred won't talk to me for some reason. When i am nice it still doesn't want to talk and i also maked sure i typed in words she knew. How can i get her to talk to me again?

turtlequeen2, try adding more keyphrases based on what people are likely to say to curlyred in a conversation. When a bot has to go to xnone responses too often, she gets tired of chatting and doesn't want to talk anymore.

I just went and chatted a bit with her; she's very pleasant and I liked her question about the planets. Maybe she would like to talk about astronomy more!

thanx dallymo I'll try
