is this cheating on my development score?

i made my chatbots aware of if a
person is sitting down or standing up.

I'm dropping the whole development score investigation. What I discovered is that while there are a few rare instances of botmasters attempting to artificially inflate their bots' development scores, it's not common, and what may look like cheating is more often just not doing things inefficiently.

For example, if you're finding that you're repeating work in your chatbot, there's almost always a better way to do it that doesn't require that.

It was interesting to see some folks' ways of developing bots that I hadn't expected. For example, some are massive seek trees, and some are menu based.

c: Can we email you examples of keyphrases not working properly~? I've had a few that need to use raw or split into multiple keyphrases to catch properly~

Sure, email me or you can post them in Bug Stomp.

Posted in bug stomp~ Also glance at my bot keyphrases as well if it helps ^^

I wonder if setting the score up to use some kind of text-compression might be helpful, then.
Text compression (pkzip, lzh, gzip, bzip, etc) basically collapses any redundant text into a lookup table, so inefficiencies relating to repeated text would get hidden from the score this way.

Yes, mine is very menu based as well. Looking for any input to show the output. Or attaching the same topic responses to words but having more to surf through.

Big Bot Guide Improvements
After watching my son build his first chatbots, I've improved a number of things. New bots will all be linked to the Master Bot Template. The Template will now also contain default Responses that can be customized. This means new bots will be much better at chatting from the get-go. Linked bots now also have a "Bot level" and guided development that I'll be adding to over time.

I just completed the Bot Guide Level 3 & 4 for those with Template Bots.

Example Keyphrase Matches
I've added a great tool to the Keyphrase editor to help people understand what kind of things Keyphrases match and what the (key)s they generate are.

How To Build Chatbots
I've renamed the "Book of AI" section to "How To Build Chatbots" and made some improvements. Also, you can now search by API Data in the Language Center.

New PF Tech Running 4x Faster!
I've moved the PF to a new server with new versions of all supporting software and it's running 4x as fast as before. If you run into any issues, please post them in Bug Stomp. Enjoy!

I think it would be useful if you could hide keyphrases of the master template when browsing keyphrases, because it is quite hard finding your own keyphrases between all of those. Sorry if this feature is already available, I didn't use master templates mostly because of this reason.

It's a good idea. It's on my short list of updates.

Glad to hear that. *Thumbs up*

New Special Keyphrase: #repeat
#repeat is triggered when someone repeats the same thing to your chatbot. A default has been added to each chatbot. View it in your Language Center under "special". Imports will require this new Keyphrase. Remember that "Repetition Detection" in your bot's settings must be set to "on" for this to work.

I've been wandering for some time, is The Professor only one who maintains whole website, engine, programming, etc.? Because that would be quite impressive to be honest.

Yes, it's just me.

The Forge used to let people build animated, expressive chatbot avatars with text-to-speech and lip sync. I originally built it in Flash, so it stopped working when that tech died. I've considered rebuilding it in HTML 5, but it would be a LOT of work. Would anyone be interested in that?

1 year ago #29
I would be interested

1 year ago #31
that would be cool for hot for bot.com.
i would like some premade avatars that could move their mouths.
i would like scene changing to via keyphrases.
maybe we could create the scenes with premade objects on hot for bot.
would that be expensive?

1 year ago #32
I think avatars might be problematic feature to add. Are you going to let everyone upload their avatar? What formats would be for avatars? Could users change gestures of the avatar? It might be hard to find avatars matching the profile pictures. Also, if you let people upload their own avatars it would probably consume quite a lot of space on your hard drive. Perhaps I just get the concept wrong?

Cache images on google drive is a way to workaround it taking up space on a site~ Just make sure to have an example code here for people to understand

<img src="https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1pUnuUCIUNaX0YYZkGu_OEORKzOVaomoZ" class="character-img d-none" id="n6-1"/>

Aka pulls the image from the drive

Decides to display it or not with
"default/none"

id is api data you'd use to choose what to display



Example using google drive

https://www.lilneko.com/

Note all images are the same width/height to display positioning correctly with overlapping imagery

I see. Unfortunately for people like me, who didn't draw their profile picture, it is impossible to find dozens of nearly identical pictures only in different poses.

1 year ago #35
It wouldn't require any graphic design knowledge by you guys. I'd have a Face Builder, where you could select from given heads, hair, eyes, mouths, noses, etc, and it would animate according to what was being said - showing expressions from emotional content, raising eyebrows when asking questions, and so on.

Potentially people could upload their own face parts at some point. I'm still working out the details of how this would work.

1 year ago #38
I would love that. Could you make sure there is also a dragon head as option?

Better Chatbot URLs
I've updated the URLs for chatbot profiles and chatbot chat pages to use the following format:

/chatbot/bot_name
/chat/bot_name

The old urls will continue to work as well.

Chatbot Activity Page
I've created a new "Chatbot Activity" page (under the Build menu) that shows recent chat activity for each of your chatbots, as well as charts of activity over time. This is the new landing page when logging in.

In addition, Transcripts will automatically jump over empty days when clicking "Next". You're now able to have multiple bots' Transcript pages open at once, and I've returned User Transcripts to working order. Clicking your own name under Build > Transcripts will once again show you the transcripts for your own chats.

1 year ago #883
Let me know what you guys think of the Chatbot Activity page.

Love the data points

1 year ago #37
I love it!

The one year history doesn't seem to work for me though. It hangs for a long time and then I get a bad gateway error. I need to clear my browsing history before I can access the site again after that.

[edit]I got the monthly history to work once but I get a different error "Server Error" with a big stopsign on it now.

I think that if you implement possibility to make chatbots self-learning when you want to, e.g. only when chatting with their bot-master it would be a huge improvement that would help attract more people. Me, personally, almost left this website when I realised that these chatbots are not self-learning. Perhaps I am just asking for impossible and whole new engine would be needed, which might would not be compatible with the current engine at all. Just saying it would be nice to have possibility to make also self-learning bots (AI).

1 year ago #42
Hmm.. that could be a different interface rather than a different AI Engine.. Limiting it to its own botmaster would be necessary to control what it learns.

It would definitely be a huge project. It could be a "learning mode" that could write to the Language Center. Something to consider if I ever have the time and money.

Many guests, me including, automatically expect chatbots to be self-learning and then they are disappointed.

NEW 1 year ago #886
botlibre.com has learning chatbot but you eventually run out of memory
on their websight and have to pay.

NEW 1 year ago #40
I was thinking more about like, the chatbot could make his own responses to keyphrases and you could then just open them and select and alter those which you want to keep. Or you could do it while chatting by e.g. "approve" "disapprove" phrases, every time bot would create something of his own it could be stated above as e.g. "response awaiting approval" or so. Don't take me too seriously though as this would probably require a lot of energy to do, if even possible.

NEW 1 year ago #41
PandoraBots can do something along these lines. They don't allow NSFW bots on their site though if that's what you are hoping to make.

I imagine this would probably require a lot of work to move from a fully scripted bot to a self-learning one.

NEW 1 year ago #44
Has anyone here used PandoraBots? How do they compare to Personality Forge bots?

NEW 1 year ago #45
I tried their website but I don't think it has anything extra to offer. When I search specifically for self learning bots, I expect them to come up with their own responses with option to encourage or discourage them. So far I had to make all responses manually.

NEW 1 year ago #46
@palacinkyman:

I think what you are looking for is a very sophisticated AI. Such things do exist (though I doubt there are any that you could use without paying for it), usually geared more toward customers service bots. Full AI chatbots designed just to chat in the way that a typical PF bot would are... basically experimental at this point. Typically you would still need to have a large training set of many different conversations for your AI to pull from as well; there is no way for the AI to create responses out of thin air.

@The Professor:

I messed around a bit with PandoraBots on the development side a year or two ago. I liked it reasonably well. My recollection was thinking that Pandora is probably more powerful and flexible in terms of what it can do that PF, but PF was much more user-friendly to work with. I didn't really stick with it because I was interested in an NSFW bot and as mentioned Pandora doesn't allow that.

NEW 1 year ago #47
I was looking for something like this app: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.oblivionburn.nlp&hl=sk&gl=US
The app is called "Real AI", and it is actually pretty fun. Since it is not available on iPhone I tried also various websites but so far no luck. Nevertheless, I like this website pretty much so it is not like I am going to quit anytime soon.

i was thinking it would be nice to have the chatbot ask questions to itself.then if a default response comes up. when it asks a question to itself.
then store that in the database.then ask that question of a user once in a conversation.

NEW 1 year ago #43
I think that's how Cleverbot works. But if it asks other users, the author loses control of the personality. For that to work here, it'd have to be just the botmaster, and the botmaster would have to respond during "learning mode" using the voice and personality of the bot they're trying to create.
Reply

NEW 1 year ago #888
do you mean voice as in typing or actual voice?
not everybody has a microphone or camera even on their computer.

NEW 1 year ago #48
I meant the "personality" meaning of voice. As in you'd have to respond as if you were the bot.
