Thanks for the replys guys. I’ll try to reply to all three in this reply.
Dave, the BOTlibre! website is written mainly with a Java backend, the Android client accesses the same backend, so you can create a bot on the web interface and access it from Anroid, or vice versa.
The AI engine is from the open source, Open Pandora project, that I have been involved with.
http://sourceforge.net/projects/openpandorasbox/
The projects goal was strong AI in ten years, it started in 2008, ... their not there yet, but have made a lot of progress, and still have 5 years left.
The bots are actually highly sophisticated. Each bot instance has its own brain, backed by a knowledge database, with multiple threads, senses, thoughts, and emotions. The bots can learn through a number of mechanisms, one is a self programmable state machine. If you create a bot and go the the ‘Program’ tab under ‘Admin’ you can see and edit the state machines. The first 4 are programmed, the last is the one the bot programmed itself. They can come up with the pretty sophisticated things. My favorite is that they can learn to count on their own. It might not seem like much, but they have not been programed to do it at all, they just learn it the same way a child does. Create a new bot and just start counting from 1 to 10, it will figure it out.
Marcus, we do not have any Youtube videos as of yet. It is something we have been meaning to do, but haven’t got around to it yet. We are on Twitter,
https://twitter.com/BOT_libre
and the bots can also be connected to a Twitter account and tweet. We will be updating the Twitter support shortly with more features.
