Dear friends:

If I have a plug-in that matches, for example, "attack", will it automatically also match "attacks"? Thanks!

Walk in Beauty, Irina

And what about "attacked"?

Nope, at least I don't think so.

I apologize for by brother's behavior. He has been awfully moody lately:

wooly weirdo: Hi almeister, what's going on with you today?
almeister: First day on this site. Learning, basically.
wooly weirdo: Do you feel annoying often, almeister?

Thanks Annakie. Thanks too bad about not being able to insert clickable links into the bot dialog. I think I will post that as a request for the next version.

I need a little help here ... I am trying to create a customer service bot to help people find comics on my site, www.uproarcomedycd.com, but my bot is being very stubborn. I have only put in a few comedy CDs into his personality but even when I ask him about those he's not giving me the info I have given him to say. His name is "Uproar HelpBot" if you could take a look and see what I have done incorrectly I would appreciate it.

How high have you ranked the names of the comedy CDs in your bot's language center?

I have not assigned ranks to anything yet. I guess I will have to include that, eh?

You don't need to in the beginning. You can start out with everything set at 0 and adjust it later, after you get a feel for it.

Maybe you didn't put the keyphrases in the right place? like maybe you put them in some of the xkeyphrase spots? Or maybe the keyphrases you put in aren't matching up exactly to what you are asking the bot. For example if you put in the big bad bear as a keyprase and someone says big bad bear, without the the, it won't work. I know these are basic suggestions, so maybe you are thinking, of course I know that... just trying to help though.

Or maybe you haven't done the right format for your keyphrases. Like maybe you put slashes instead of comma's between variations.. try showing us an example of your keyphrases.

Thanks for your help kids!
My goal is to have this conversation"
Bot: Hello and welcome to Uproar Entertainment.
You: Hi.
Bot: What can I help youfind?
You: I am looking for Alonzo Bodden's CD
Bot: Yep. So is everyone else; he's on NBC's "Last Comic Standing." We have his CD "Seemed Like a Good Idea at the Time." The link can be found in our "The Guys" or "Urban Comedy" sections.
----------------------------
So, here's what I have done:
Keywords: alonzo bodden,alonzo,bodden,alonso,boden,last comic standing
Rank:50 Emo:1
Responsesee above)
-------------------------------------
But, I can type "I am looking for Alonzo Bodden" til I am blue in the face and I won't get the response. Sometimes, I type "alonzo" and I will get the response but when I type "bodden" I get the "I am new" message.

Any thoughts?
