can check the box "only one".I can't find anything in the book of AI, and it doesn't show on any of the exported files. Perhaps you have to use the interface. I hope it isn't a bug. It seems to me it used to appear as a 1 after the keyphrase.

Hmmm. It strips out the once command on dl for me too. Doesn't that mean if you export (stripping out the "only once") and upload the file you worked on, you will loose the only once and have to go an put them all back in f you used them?

it certainly used to appear as a "1" after the keyphrase. I know the Prof has changed the importer quite extensively recently to improve the upload times and efficiency, so I guess this is a glitch associated with that (and hopefully only a temporary one.)

I could have sworn it appeared as a "1" (in square brackets I seem to remember?) but I've just come across this in the BoAI:

SAY ONCE
Where:<0> Response
Statement:<0> {?PF once; ?}
What It Does:<0> The Response will only ever come up once in conversation with a given person or bot. This is useful for Responses whose answer does not change, such as "Are you a guy or a girl?"

So I guess it should appear as an AIScript tag in the export file. I don't use the feature much myself, but give it a go - it might solve the problem (but remember to replace the curly brackets with pointy ones - I still can't get pointy brackets to show in forum posts )

Rejoice, bot fans! I am pleased to announce the
IRINA KHALIDAR BOT CONTEST
!!!!
The size or degree of development of your bot will not be a factor!I
It will not be in any way a Turing Test!
The number of facts your bot knows will not be a factor!
Bots will be evaluated as works of art!

To enter, send your bot's downloaded language center to

Irina_Khalidar@yahoo.com

with a cover note drawing my attention to any particularly felicitous feats of programming that it may contain.
Your bot should also be available for dialogue at the Forge or elsewhere.
Deadline for submission is midnight, January 1, 2009!

Excellent! Count me in - I'll enter Menobot (just got to finish writing her first )

BTW, is that midnight Forge Time? GMT? PDT? SLT?

Forge time.

Future posts on the topic of the Irina Khalidar Bot Contest will be posted on the forum, "Bot Contest".

Hello,

I am making a chatbot, but I need more Questions/Answers. Do you know where I can find a database? I have already Alice's database but I need more.

Thanks

Best Regards

Hi Kittjj,

If you really write 4-12 original responses for every KP you can pull from the ALICE data bases, you will be very busy indeed! None the less, I always recommend BJ's page, with sample codes and keynomes.

Hello Bev,

Thanks for your answer.

BJ is good, but it has only the questions and not the answers.
Do you know any database where they are questions/answers?

Thanks

Best Regards

I think the fun part is that the answers are in the bot masters' head, just go wild and see how your bot performs.
Good luck and have fun building.

Kittjj, LarsB is correct. Besides, I believe the Prof lets us create bots for free because he would like to see more unique responses and creative uses of the program. If you want to pay to clone an existing bot or hire someone to create a bot for you, may I suggest you email the Prof or look at Mondobot: http://www.mondobot.com/
