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

Go to your bots, click on settings on your bot and choose how often you want a bot state memory or gossip.

Can you tell me what's wrong?

how long does it tske the bot i buld to get to where they can talk i buily one yesterday

That depends on how well you want it to talk. Your bot can talk as soon as you create it, but for it to be able to hold good conversations can take quite some time.

ok ty

it depends how many hours you work on it as well
