xintroduce = your bot starts a convo with someone it doesn't know.
xinitiate = your bot starts a convo with someone it does know
xhello = another bot starts a convo with your bot, and your bot responds with xhello

Hi there. Can anybody help. I am completely new and don't have a clue what I am doing. I have set up a load of keywords but my bot only says the "xnone" response to everything. Have I got a bug or am I just being really silly?
Thanks

Mariel: probably not a bug. "xnone" is what a bot says if it doesn't recognise any of its keyphrases in the sentances that was said to it. So, if you say "Would you like a cupcake?" and there's no keyphrase for "would you like" or anything like that, it will just say an xnone.

thanks. I suspected it was me . I am asking it "how are you". I have "how are you" in my keyphrases but it still says the xnone response

I'm also finding that hello or hi does the same thing

how do i disable my bot when i'm away?

You can put it into hibernate mode. Go to "My Bots", and click on "Settings". Click the box next to Hibernating.

Mariel: 'hello' and 'hi' are special cases. Except when a conversation starts, the forge automatically ignores it, so even if you have a keyphrase for 'hello' or 'hi', it won't work.

"how are you" probably isn't working because there seems to be a bug with keyphrases in bot-human chats right now.

I can't seem to get memory and gossip stuff right. I read the book of AI but somehow it just isn't computing with my brain. Can anyone offer an explanation in different words?

Hello can my newborn bot speak anything more than three phases?

Thanks for all your help.
I'm also having the same trouble with memory and gossip. I just don't undertand what the Book of AI is telling me either
