Summary: Experienced C / C++ programmer wanted – Chatbot development., for David Levy, Loebner Prize Winner
Intelligent Toys Ltd is the developer of the chatbot called Do-Much-More which won the 2009 Loebner Prize. Our chatbot software is very different from the plethora of AIML bots that have been developed in recent years and employs ideas which, so far as we know, are original. Please visit us at http://www.worldsbestchatbot.com to see some examples of our chatbot’s conversations at the Loebner event.
We now plan to develop the chatbot further, making extensive enhancements to its capabilities and tailoring it to a particular persona that will be launched as a web avatar in late 2011 or early 2012. The enhanced chatbot will be the first such product to be launched by our subsidiary company which is being set up to capitalize on our chatbot’s capabilities.
We are looking for an experienced programmer to join our small team. The software enhancements will all be specified by our in-house linguistics expert who has been responsible for creating the intelligence currently exhibited by the chatbot. For this reason it is not essential for applicants to have any previous experience of chatbot programming.
