I haven’t visited chatbots.org lately because I have been working to finish version 2 of talkigy - why do these things take so much longer that you ever expect ?
So what’s new:
Poppy (the demo cat) is now released from her travel box - and compared to version 1, she ...

... should be even smarter with her replies compared to version 1.0.
[/li]
[li]
... can now show you pictures if you ask her; try http://www.talkigy.com/chat/poppy-cat/show-me-in-a-blanket. Or ask her “show me a pic of you running”. This approach can be used to guide users to any content that has a URL
[/li]
[li]
... now does audio (providing you are using an up to date Chrome browser)
[/li]
[/ul]
The emphasis with talkigy has always been the chatbot as a medium for content - so while other approaches are better at responding to unexpected stimuli, or learning from their users, talkigy is aimed at those who have content that they wish to offer in a “chattable” format without any need for coding (content is provided in spreadsheets). Best way to test this is chat with Poppy: http://www.talkigy.com or chat with talkigy about talkigy at http://www.talkigy.com/chat/about-talkigy.
Feedback and ideas for applications much appreciated.
