Erwin, I did some research on the providers you posted, and pandorabot seemed interesting. I registered and created a test bot. It’s easy to train them and add knowledge, and I found a program that links the bot with a Live Messenger account and that’s neat! I think the only turnoff is that probably there’s no way the script could be integrated on the bot’s AIML files :/ But then again, I don’t know if it’s possible.

What’s the name of the program to connect the Pandorabot to the Messenger account?

@Dave: you can contact any Chatbots.org member throught clicking their names and using the ‘email link’.

Yup. Knew that. But I’m the soul of accommodation, and one click on a link to my contact page is easier than two clicks to yours.

Just a fast: http://www.chatbots.org/expert/contact/2811/
But you get a point: I’ll make the link to the contact page and other details available on the forum (after we’ve introduced our improved account section, square pictures, better layout etc).

Great idea, Erwin, since this forum seems to lack private messages. I thought about asking about that in the “feature requests” threads, but when I think about it, I don’t have the time, and when I have the time, I don’t think about it.
