Unfortunately, the AI Engine does not yet recognize plural vs. singular. So, yes, you do need to cover all your bases. Though I think in raw mode you could probably do something like "blush[a-z] (re)" with "raw" in the AIScript box (someone who uses it more than I do can correct my syntax). This would catch blush. blushed, blushing, blushes...

Talk about plurals. One of the Chatterbox Challenge questions drove me nuts.
"Have you entered any contests" I realized that I had 'contest' but not 'contests'. SO, cover all your plurals!

No problem. It just startled me. Oh well, back to the text editor....

something like "blush[a-z] (re)" with "raw" in the AIScript box

blush([a-z]+|) (re) would be better - without the + it will only match one letter after the root, and without the | it wouldn't match "blush" itself, since a suffix would be mandatory.
I would actually probably favour blush([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+|), because I've had occasional problems with ranges - the AI Engine can be a bit iffy. And yes, it will only work in raw mode.

Ah, I see. I didn't realize the + was necessary to get it to recognize multiple letters.

yup - that's what it's for.

Does that have any advantage to say...'blush,blushing,blushed' as a kp

Mainly that it might catch misspellings (so long as the main part of the word is intact) and things you haven't thought of. *shrugs*

One of my seek phrases is "bottom left" and the program recognizes it as a insult. I can't bump up the relevance, cuz it's a seek. Is there anyway to overide xinsult with a seek?

I think what would be best in that situation is just to take your chances making it into a keyphrase. There, so long as you increase the relevance, it should override xinsult.

You could go one better. Store a memory for the response with the seek, say {?PF rem "yes" as only "triggered"; ?}. Then have the responses for that seek under the keyphrase "bottom left" but {?PF if (mem-triggered) is "yes"; ?>

You'd probably want a generic response in there (without the conditional), just in case.

I'm confused. Who are the Guest ### people who talk to our bots? I assumed they were folks with no accounts, but I just logged out and then entered as "Guest", and I was told that I can't talk to bots unless I open an account. Ok, but who are all those folks named "Guest"?
