The professional chatbot & virtual agent developers community

We’re pleased to announce that we’ve appointed Jetty Van Kooij as our primary editor of Chatbots.org.

As you probably know, the Turing Test is a proposal for a test of a machine’s ability to demonstrate intelligence. The test celebrates its 100th birthday in 2012.

The most prestigious prize based on the Turing test, is obviously the Loebner Prize, started in 1990 by Hugh Loebner (who’s still passionate about chatbots).

The Loebner Prize however, is not the only prize in this area. There seem to be a few more prizes to win in the field of creating artificial intelligent and conversational life. For Chatbots.org we’re trying to create a list of all of them (and to list all the results on the site).

We are looking for a freelance English editor (4 hours per week).

As we have quite ambitious plans with Chatbots.org, we need an enthusiastic native English editor to edit text and write new articles who can grow with us to facilitate the fast growing community of chatbot developers, affiliate industry and users.

Chatbots.org is now a PR 5 site (Google pagerank). This is the result of extra attention on websites due to the launch of version 2.0, new links to the site and in existing groups related to chatbots and natural language processing. We’ll probably end up with a pagerank of 7 somewhere next year (when we realized our objectives of 100.000 visitors a month).

After months of hard work, we’re delighted to announce the new version of chatbots.org, creating a, in our opinion, world-class community platform for professional chatbot developers. We’re glad we’ve managed to implement so many wishes of chatbot developers world wide and we’ve added lots of functionality that we believe advances the chatbot community across the world.

Please read on about our tightened mission, the new functionality, new content, the history, the community, the future, and how your participation could help you create success, learn and get in touch with professional partners.
