Hallo,
if someone need or would like toimprove, I put the (thanks) plug-im under category phrases. I wasn't able to find it!

Unsolicited advice department:
A conversation is somewhat like a tennis game. It's boring if the other person just watches the ball goes by - you want her to hit it back, in a (not too) challenging way.
A lot of responses are passive: they don't give the guest much to go on. For example, consider the canned response to xcompliment, "That was kind". It's an appropriate response, but it doesn't give the guest much guidance as to what sort of thing to say next. Instead you might say, "That was kind. How did you get to be such a nice person?" Now the guest has a question to answer.

More unsolicited advice:
A conversation is rarely just an exchange of information. A good conversation has passion!
Think of the difference between someone's just saying "yes." in contrast to saying "absolutely!" or "you said it!" or "Damn right!" or "You'd better believe it!". The former pulls energy out of you, the latter put energy into you. I think that's why some people use so much profanity, it is a (rather mechanical) way of putting some vigor into their speech. Humor is another way of doing that.
Exclamations are another way.Feel the difference in passion between "That was kind." and "Oh, how kind that was!"
Also, notice the subtle but definite difference between "That was kind" and "You are kind." If you bring the *person* into it, you will increase the effect.

Bev, what do you mean?
I just write sencence like:
Yes I am,
and you?
hoping to have:
Yes I am,
and you?
But when I save, and then my bot uses this sentence I have:
Yes I am,and you?
I cannot understan why, in the documentation is written that '
' are allowed!

Hi Marco3b,
br should work. Does it look OK in the language center after you save it (I mean does it have two lines in the reply there)?

I'll let you in on an open secret, marco3b: the AIengine doesn't always do what it is supposed to do! So one learns to adopt a sort of statistical approach...
Of course, you shouldn't just assume, if something turns out differently from what you expected, that it's the AIengine's fault. But if you begin to feel as though you are beating your head against a wall, well, try something else!
