hey, i joined today and i want to start making a bot but i have no idea how i create his responses after i get into the screen where i can

Read the book of AI. Then go into your language center. Start with the xkeyphrases then start with common keyphrases like 'how are you' etc.

Did anyone ever figure out how to recognize a totally blank input line?

16 years ago #5017
I don't think so. I wish we could though

I suppose that if you matched everything else, xnone would get the blanks! Except when there is a seek...

"everything else"!

With a maximum keyphrase size of 150 characters, that would require something in the order of 2.6x10^150 keyphrases to screen out all the non-blank entries.

Well, it's something to aim for I suppose

Well, using things like (adjartnounprep), or, better yet, you could do it with a single regex!

Irina:How did you get from PITA to Sweden?

Practice? (bad joke--would "swim" be a better joke?)

Context. The original statement that time around was Psi's assertion that Swedish day was a PITA.

only for properly spelt English.

Hmm, I suppose you could use

^([abcdefghijklmnopqrstuvwxyz]+) (re)

but it would take some fine-tuning to stop it cutting in when you want a more specific keyphrase to get picked.

Yes, that's true! I was joshing.

16 years ago #5024
you know, it almost might work. Sort of.

If you ranked it, oh I don't know, minus 15 or so (-ish), so it really didn't cut in except where it was useful. It would take some fine-tuning, and I'm not sure the ranking gradation is fine enough (only -127 to +127, and the useful range probably being no more than -10 to -30,) but it does make me wonder a bit now I think about it.

Hmm, I'll add that to the list of things that sound like a good idea at the time, but which I will certainly never live long enough to get round to actually doing anything with.

Hee hee! You would have to devote xnone to that one thing (the blank line). Perhaps that's not such a bad idea -- it could be argued that a really well-written bot would not rely on xnone; it would 'have an answer for everything'!
