BOT libre for Android 2.0

Now with live chat, chat with your friends, team mates, customers. Add your bot to chat rooms, and have it chat and learn from other people.

I found this chat log with Santa bot funny. I guess he needs some better filtering.

What do you mean by 'knowledge artifacts'?

I tested your bot, and the AIML scripts you added seem to be working.

When I add a AIML Program script, it says that is adds, but it doesn't make a difference to the bots knowledge artifacts.

Thanks.

When you send a Twitter message to a bot using a mention, i.e. "@mybot How are you?", the bot will search for the best response it knows for that question. It will first search it's program scripts, if none of those understand the question, it will then search for a known question that matches, or is similar to the question. The known question must have a known response to be considered.

With RSS, you only have a title and link, no question answer pair, so they cannot be matched

Hello,

When i set-up my bot to tweet by talking, will the bot send a keyword based answer from RSS Feed? Like answer from bots Memory.

No, do not post your user/password in a public forum.

The guest user/password I included was an example, a generic BOT libre guest user.

ok, thanks

it is secure to post my id and the password in this public forum?

Ok, I see the issue.

The issue is that you have configured your bot's access mode to 'Users', so anonymous users will not be able to connect to your bot from the iframe (only connected users). You can either set your access mode to 'Everyone', or create a guest user to connect as from your iframe.

Make sure you put the correct id for your bot in the chat parameter, i.e. your bot's id is 12551.

Here is an example of an embedded bot,

it's still not working to embedd a iframe in a wordpress page. i recieve the following error: "You must first select a bot

Sorry, seemed to be a database issue. I rebooted the database, and it should be fine now.

I will investigate further.

The retweet keywords are now case insensitive, and you can specify multiple sets of keywords. Put each keyword set on a new line.

i.e.

The Twitter bot properties now allow a RSS prefix and postfix. Also you can set the RSS Keywords to filter only RSS title that include the keywords.

i.e.

The website was updated today.

Changes

A template response is one that contains code in addition to text. The code is defined in the Bot Libre Self scripting language.

You can add a template response from the "Training & Chat Logs" page. You can even use a template response in a correction or learning response.

Your bots responses can include HTML or JavaScript.

From the Training page under Admin, or from the Chat Logs page, you can enter responses that include HTML or JavaScript. The HTML code will be rendered as is in the web client.

You can add responses to questions from the "Training & Chat Logs" page in your bot's Admin Console, or by importing a response list file from the "Training & Chat Logs" page. You can also have the bot learn from conversations, or you can correct your bot's responses when chatting with it.

In addition to training your bot with simple responses like,

The bot will find the best known response for a question. First it will check it's program scripts, then it will look for an exact match for the question, then it will look for a question similar to the question. If none of these find a good match, then it will use the default response.

You can create a new bot using the empty template to have a bot with no built-in phrases.

all that not really works, and i am confused...

i try to delte the complete bot and create a new one. now it seems more less clear. in the chat log i have found the old conversions and responses. this will not delete too?

No, you cannot correct part of the string in the memory.

It looks like most of your responses also have the correct character, so you should be ok just to delete them from the Memory page. If you don't have the responses to some of them, then you could filter response on the character from the Chat Logs page, export it as a chat log, or response list, then find/replace the character in a text editor, and then re-import it.

in the memory is still the � listed. i can not delete them, but i spend a lot of time to train. the caracter � means more then one letter. somtimes is ü sometimes is ö. is it possible to correct it manually in the memory?

The issue should be fixed now. The upload was using UTF-8, but the download was not.

Let me know if it still does not work.

hi,

i try it again. when i download the chat_log the file have charset ANSI Windows/DOS in Notepad++. I have to convert to UTF-8 before i upload this file.

The import/export should both be in UTF-8. I will look into it.

To delete all the sentences with � you can copy the character, go to the Memory tab, search for "*�*", click 'Select All', then click 'Delete'. I can delete them for you if you wish.

first step i download the chat_log then i changed some answers and upload it but then the percent raise up. All umlauts (German äüö) are failed to �

when i upload a clean file with new questions and anwers the currently trained log will clear?

thanks for your reply. i have download the chat log as txt. this is ANSI coded, but when i upload this file with "öüä" caracters then they failed. it's possible to set-up this to UTF-8 encoded?

thanx

The website update is now complete.

Some of the new things include:

Dear Admin,

someone chat with the bot. Whats the right way to train the bot to work correctly. can you make a little howto?

The website is being updated today (and may be slow for a bit).

Thanks for the response. What I'm hoping for is a way to make the bot more resilient (less brittle) so that I wouldn't have to foresee every possible question or topic of conversation. It would be good if there was a way to teach the bot where to go to look for certain categories of information. If someone seems to be asking about book and authors, go search in Amazon. If someone is asking about movies, go look in IMDB. That sort of thing. I guess it's hard to replicate the ability of the conver

When you filter your RSS feed by keyword, it would be nice when you can set a Hashtag. All correspondece that will be filtered have a special Hashtag. So listener from my twitter profile have specified posts. In the Twitter guidelines for spam is described that automatted posts must be have a context.

Example: Posts from RSS with filter "travel luxury hotels" become a hashtag #luxury #travel also can be the same RSS Feed have a filter with "travel cheap flights" that become #trav

many thx for your quick replies :)

By default, a new bot will not learn from other users, unless you use the ai_template to create the bot. When learning is enabled, a bot will remembered user responses to the bot's responses, and the bot will use the user responses in future conversations. This is useful to let your bot learn new things, but undesirable if you want your bot to only respond how you have trained it.

From the Learning page in your bot's Admin Console, you can configure who your bot learns from. You can disable learning, or configure your bot to only learn from its administrators, or only from signed in users. You can also configure who is allowed to correct your bot's responses, and you can configure the bot's learning rate, and other options.

You can configure your Twitterbot to retweet posts from your bot's Twitter page in its Admin Console.

A Twitterbot can retweet posts from its friends, or from a tweet search.

AIML is the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language. It is an XML standard for defining chat bot responses. Bot Libre bots are not based on AIML, but instead have a knowledgebase similar to the human brain. However both importing and exporting AIML is fully supported.

You can import AIML in two forms, either as a script file, or as a chat log.

I think it is not an issue with addthis, but a database issue. Some of the Twitterbots have a thousand friends and when they run can bough down the database. I think I have fixed the issue, just need to update the website.

Thanks for the input. I was planning on the prefix, I suppose I could add tne suffix as well. For URL shortening, I thought Twitter did that automatically now. I will have to investigate it.

I did not quite understand your last point. How do you want to use the hashtag?

hi,

sometimes the admin page is very slow. i think you can speed-up the social buttons from addthis when you load this asyncron.

i use an other service for RSS to tweet. here are some functions:

- check for new posts every: 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours

You can write your own AIML or Self scripts from the Program page to cover some of these. For questions like "How many pints are in a liter", you can train your bot with the response.

The bots have Senses that let them search and interact with external services such as Freebase and Wiktionary. There is also a Tools API that lets them access things like a Calculator or Watch. The goal is the expand the Senses and Tools to give the bots access to more services. As well, the AI e

Is there a way to add general search capability to my bot? I can ask it "Who is" and "What is" questions. But I can't ask it other questions such as "Who wrote the book ...." or "How many pints are in a liter." Is there a way to add the same sort of search capability to the bot libre bot that exists for Google Now and Siri?

The RSS limit should be 150, so it is odd you are seeing it cut out at 12. I just tested 15, and it seemed to work.

The Self programming scripts can call out to functions exposed on the bots Senses, and Tools. I would like to add an RSS feed Sense, so that it can pull in any RSS feed URL. So you would just need to expose the database data as an RSS feed. Other formats could be supported, or perhaps some sort of generic REST API Sense.

ok, perfect. :)

Question and suggestions.

Are there limits on the number of RSS feeds the bot can cope with, every time one tries adding more it cuts back to about a dozen or so.

This would be useful as it allows a Bot to be taught what it is you follow and are interested in and have it learn and tweet to you, or followers who are also interested in same thing.

I'm considering some more advanced retweet options. I will consider something like this.

Would it be possible to have the Twitterbot retweet tweets it receives so those the Twitterbot follows have their tweets retweeted to its followers. Or rather, to have it taught what followers to retweet and what subjects, rather than just with Hashtags.

Forget something ;)

does upper- and lowercase should be the same in "TweetSearch" and "Retweet" e.g House and house?

Hello

does the "twitter advanced search" query like "thanks OR thx @travelrbot :) include:retweets" works in the "Tweet Search" too? it would be great :)
