Hi I just finished setting up my account.
i want to know how I can help my bot get smarter or if it just gets smart as it chats because every time I trt to talk to it I says "I was just bron and can't talk well yet" What do I do?

Unfortunately, you actually have to code its keyphrases in, as per the book of AI. It will only 'learn' what you tell it to learn.

if you get a friend of the forge acount you can choose to detect chats yourself between your bot and another bot of your choise but its really expensive. i want it lol!!!

says "I was just born and can't talk well yet" What do I do? The first thing to do is get rid of that annoying phrase.

Hi,

I need a little help with regular expressions. After reading the Book of A.I. it gave me the impression that if I create this keyphrase

^How do you do$(re)

...it would trigger the response I added whenever anyone types to my bot "How do you do?", or "How do you do!" (but NOT "How do you do that?" or "Tell me how do you do?")..etc... Anyway, it's supposed to trigger the response I have "I'm doing just fine!", but when I tried testing it by typing "How do you do" to my bot I ended up getting a response from my xnone box instead.

Where did I go wrong? Did I misread this? How would I enter this expression so it will be read as by my bot as "How do you do" and nothing else?

Thanks!

Did you type raw into the AI Script box?

Try it in Debug and see what it says.

^How do you do$(re)

You appear not to have a space between $ and (re). There must be one for it to work.

^How do you do$ (re) should fix the problem.

Thanks for your advice! I've made some progress. After adding the space in ^How do you do$ (re) it works as long as there is no punctuation at the end of the sentence. So for instance "How do you do" works, but "How do you do!" and "How do you do?" fail. The AI Book is pretty vague on this topic - is there some way to tell the expression to include any sort of punctuation?

Thanks again.

Well, you could get rid of the $, but that would also mean it would pick up things like "how do you do basic calculus?" Might be simplest just to code for the likely punctutation as well.
^How do you do$ (re), ^How do you do?$ (re), ^How do you do!$ (re)

Thanks...it's still not working for some reason. Seems a bit buggy. Hmmm...oh well, I'll take the time over the weekend to troubleshoot it some more. Thanks for the help

but "How do you do!" and "How do you do?" fail.

Hmm. These ought to match, even in raw mode (though there's no need for raw mode in this example.) Try turning off raw mode, and if that doesn't work, try:

^How do you do([ !?.]|)$ (re)

That will explicitly match !, ?, . or nothing at the end of the keyphrase.

*Note the space before ! in the keyphrase.
