Chatbot API
  
 
Posted: Sep 7, 2012

Could anyone please advise a chabot that plugs into IMs (AIM, gtalk, etc) AND can offer an API that would allow interaction with an outside database/software. I am looking to find a chatbot that would be able to export and crosscheck inputs from users in an outside database and then reply based on those checks. Not a tech guy, so apoligies for the lack of tech terminology)

As far as I know, there is no web-based (cloud) dialog system API (web service) with both frontend and backend (incoming and outgoing) APIs.  At this point, everything close is highly customized, hand-cobbled and brittle, not to mention otherwise exorbitantly expensive.  You might like to check out my recent videos on “Open Chatbot Standards for a Modular Chatbot Framework” http://bit.ly/r7fj8D , and may also wish to take a look at my Meta Guide webpage all about “Jabber, XMPP & Chatbots” http://bit.ly/K9jw1Z (AIM, gtalk, etc).
