When reading other’s comments, I get the impression most of you have already made a few chatbots or similar things through your lives. So I was wondering, how many have you made already.
Personally, I’m just starting, so 1 for me.

PS: It doesn’t matter if it was released or not, if you were able to chat with it, count it!.

I have 5.

My main one is called Mitsuku and is on an internet games site.
I also have a talking teddy bear (my first attempt but people still talk to it), a Santa Claus and one that solves those 26=L of the A (letters of the alphabet) type questions. I also have a test bot which I used for experiments.

Wow, someone with +10 chatbots.

All AIML?

Yes, all AIML. I find it a great language to work with despite what others may think.

5 for me.
3 that were on-line, although only Skynet-AI is active now.
2 others that competed in past Chatterbox Challenges and were hosted on them web.
Merlin, a MS Agent bot.
Striker, a web bot that focused on soccer.

2 other experiments that were off-line.
Countless chatbot fragments to test one specific conversational aspect; numbers, memory, avatar/graphics, different AI systems etc.

Morti is my one and only chatbot, though I plan on having several “incarnations” of him as time goes by.

I posted 4. Three AIML incarnations, the first one being just annotated base-files to test out the possibilities of AIML, the second one I tried to build a Dutch speaking version (that was no success) and the third being my implementation of the PAD-model in AIML. I used Program-E for those by the way, not the best or bug-free AIML interpreter around.

The fourth I’m counting my current project; not a real working bot yet, but I will start coding some ‘proof of concepts’ soon enough. There is a possibility that I’ll prototype some stuff in AIML again (I think it’s great for that), I have now Program-Q installed (I’m running Linux) which seems pretty capable.

I have made three:

I made an insult bot years ago on a TRS-80 Radio Shack computer in BASIC (I think the machine had a total of 80k memory, LOL).

My current project is a philosophy bot called STU (solves the universe). I’m working in Javascript and building everything from scratch.

I have one bot in AIML on pandorabots,
and I have implemented a good subset of AIML in prolog
(and then added some home-brewn extensions),
which I’m experimenting with to add natural language queries to a database program.

I’ll estimate 5-10 without actually counting.
