Thanks, this is a new bot for me.
I play with lots of them. I have been interested in PC based AI for about 10 years and have seen a lot of these things come and go. They are getting
better all the time.
Alan Bot is another good web based one.
www.a-i.com...
Want a free one for your desktop? Try out Conversive's Verbot 5
www.verbots.com...
I have the paid for version of Verbot 5. I first bought their verbots in 2004.
The only difference in the paid for version is it has extra features if you want to program it yourself. But the Free version is 100% and not a trial
or crippled. Just 10 bucks to buy a verbot.
They have a face not just text and can really talk to you with animation. (their lips move and have facial expressions)
If you have speech recognition software you can even use a microphone to talk to it. And they can learn and remember what you teach them!
Another desktop program like Verbots is Ultra Hal Assistant 6.2 from
www.zabaware.com... They offer a trial version and have many of the same
features as the Verbots. Depending on the "brain" used Hal can be smarter then Verbots but there is no free version. 30 bucks to buy.
With both Verbot and Hal you can use the microphone and speech recognition to tell it to do stuff on your pc. You can say, open document or open web
browser or search ATS in google etc.. you can use them to control much of your computer.
Hey if anyone knows of other desktop AI bots Please U2U me with info :-)
