The interesting thing is if you use the java client included, the bot seems *much* smarter. It's the character length limitation which dumbs down the conversation.
The bot *seems* much smarter when the conversation is a quick succession of brief exchanges. It seems as though it follows the conversation.
I'm gonna run the bot as a popup java box, with custom aiml files for a FAQ.
REQUEST
What I would really like, is a way to stop the bot responding on the forums, unless it was triggered by a keyword (eg: "Alice"). The I could run the bot as a propper chatbot/FAQbot via the popup, but also have it as an "on demand" bot for the forums.
I think that would be the slickest way if integrating this hack.
