Congradulations to Rose by Bruce Wilcox for winning the 2015 Loebner Prize chat bot competition.

BBC Article,

wow, yeah it works!

 

Thank you so much!

We will be archiving bots that have not been accessed for over 12 months, to conserve database resources.

Bronze and Gold accounts will not be archived.

The website was updated today.

The updated included enhancements to the AI engine, you will need to rebootstrap your bot from the Scripts page to get the AI engine update.

This issue should be fixed now. Just ensure you set your language to "de" in your bot's Voice page under Admin.

Hi Orus,
  Do you have a link to share for pinkprogram1? I did not see her in the CBC.

Skynet AI is good. But I am really fascinated by pinkprogram1 she is pretty amazin an so is allison AI Bot. They seem really really human to me.

ah okay,

didn't know I was reporting an issue, just thought me not getting it :)

I actually use the iframe code which looks like this for me:

<iframe src="http://www.botlibre.com/chat?&id=11565180&embedded=true&application=117824630314120453&background=%23fff&prompt=You+say&send=Send" width="700" height="550" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto"></iframe>

is there a way to set the the language in this code to German as I prefer t

Our server has been experiencing a Denial Of Service attack the last couple days.
Hopefully it will stop, but you may noticed reduced performance.

Hi Martin,

Thanks for reporting the issue. It looks like we are not currently setting the language in the speech recognizer, so it defaults to English or the browser/OS default language.

Hi guys,

Its probably a very simple question but I cant seem to find a way to do this. In my chatbot I enabled the speech recognition function - which works fine, as long as it is in English. For my project I want to train refugees to speak German, so I need to have the speech recognition in German. Do I have to do this in Chrome (I tried without success) or do I do it somewhere on BotLibre or in the code I pasted onto my wordpress page?

I would greatly appreciate some help -

The website was updated today.

Just a minor security update to prevent hackers from trying to guess app IDs, or at least make them go away.

Chat Bot Wars allows you to engage two bots in a conversation with each other.

You can pick two bots to chat with each other and give them a topic. The bots will talk with each other, and you get to decide which bot had the best conversation.

The website was updated today.

The update included many new enhancements and minor improvements including the following new features:

The Bot Libre SDK for iOS is now open source and released as part of our Project Libre project on GitHub and SourceForge.

The Bot Libre iOS SDK contains objective C classes for the Bot Libre API, and user interfaces classes that make it easy to make your own iOS bot app, or add a bot to your existing app.

The website was updated today.

The Facebook automation support was improved.

If you open the link you will see the error you get is "Invalid application id". You need to set your application ID using "&application=xxx".

You can get your application ID from your user page.

I'm having problems with the api, when I connect to the API I get error number 400

That's how I use it

Is there a way to speed up how much smarter a bot gets?

The only way currently is to download each script, then check it into GitHub.

We could probably add a multi-file download that downloads a set of scripts to a zip file. Then you would just need to unzip the files and check them in.

I should have been a bit more specific. I'd like to start a GH project for my Self scripts, to open it up for collaboration. I could manually import, but as there are several scripts, this might get repetitive.

I'm going to start a project soon, I just thought I would start a topic if this would be doable.

You can download the script from GitHub, then import it into your Bot.

What script are you looking to import?

Hi,

Would it be possible to push a script from GitHub to BotLibre!?

Looks like you imported the AIML as a chat log. You can either import AIML as a chat log, from the Chat Logs page, or as a script, from the Scripts page.

Bot Libre has multiple ways to resolve responses. It will first look for a direct response match, then process its program scripts, they search for the closest matching know response.

The content of the AIML files appears on the page, but it is not added to the list of scripts.

The update including many new features, as well as some more enhancements and fixes.

Meet Joanie, our newest 3D animated avatar. She is a 3D generated animated video avatar of a mature woman.

The Twitter bot auto tweet will currently choose a tweet at random. We will look into adding support to cycle the tweets.

You can cycle through your text now using a Self script. Basically you need to load and associate the text, then create a script that will cycle between the text phrases.

Hi, 

The website was updated today. The update included more support for AIML 2.0 features, and some scalability fixes that will hopefully fix the memory issues we have been having for the last couple weeks. The update also included some other minor fixes and enhancements.

AIML 2.0

Our AIML 2.0 support is now almost complete,

Support for several new tags was added.

Pattern side <set>

The question Bill Gates and others are asking that is should we have more concerned dialogue now, about where we want our super machines to go is one of consequence.

Without some management there could be some serious ramifications. I am not sure Andrew Lumby took Gates quote in an appropriate direction in his article but it was very thought provoking.

Perhaps, it is much too old school but when talking about super intelligent computers which think for themselves and act

Our site is experience some growing pains issues due to increased volume.  We are working on resolving the issue, but you may notice some down time this week.

The website was updated today.
This update including our complete support for subdomains.

Thank for all the support, unfortunately we did not reach our funding goals, and Kickstarter is an all of none service. We learned a lot about Crowd Sourcing, and will try again sometime in the future.

Check the Log page for errors. You can also set logging to fine then connect to IRC to see any issues.

What IRC channel and server are you trying to connect to?

Ive connected my Bot to my IRC Server and Channel but it does not show up. I would also like to know how to tweet from the IRC Channel through the bot.

The website was updated today. The update included several enhancements and fixes, including new support for importing knowledge from Wikidata.

Wikidata

Initial support for importing data from Wikidata. Wikidata is a free knowledge base, part of the Wikimedia/Wikipedia project. The support mirrors our current Freebase support, in anticipation of Google shutting down Freebase.

This issue should be fixed now.

That is odd. Seems to be a spacing issue with our AIML2 update and formula responses.
I will look into it.

Our server was attacked today by a spam bot sending user messages (yes very ironic).
The user and their ip have been blocked, and the spam messages deleted. Sorry if you were sent email from the messages.

The bot is removing the spaces between words when I send answer corrections.  Help?

I tested your bot Serenity, and its seems its scripts have been corrupted somehow.
Part of the state machine for the bootstrap scripts was forgotten or deleted, which was causing an error in its script processing.

I don't think I'm programming my bot right. None of the imported scripts are working. Is there something I need to do to them first? 

 

Also I'd like to know how the web search works. 

You can embed your bot on your website using JavaScript, or HTML. You can get the code to embed your bot from the Embed tab, by clicking on the Embed button from your bot's main page.

There are several embedding options to choose from including:

The website was updated today. The update included our initial AIML 2.0 support. Our AIML 2.0 support is still under development, so this is just a preview of some of the support.

The update also included several new Self functions and syntax as part of our Self 2.0 development.

No, if you delete something from the Knowledge page it will be permanently deleted. If you remove a script from the Script page it will only be unpinned, and will be delete durring garbage collection/forgetfulness when the memory is full.

So I can delete them from the memory and they'll still be there?

Scripts are automatically pinned when imported. As well as trained responses, corrections, and responses from the Chat Logs page.

Pinning them so the bot will remember. Do I need to pin the stuff from the scripts?

Is there a way to select all in the knowledge base?

You can click on the checkbox button in the Knowledge page to select all the items. Well, it will select the first 100 items (HTTP has a form parameter limit). There is no current way to select more than that right now, we will look into adding one.

What are you doing with the selected items, deleting them?
