... or you need a faster PC Mel... Pandora works as expected for me..

@RichR, Pandora is Fast enough. Just the response is not what I would like.

If I tell pandora "my wife's name is Sunshine" and I ask "What is my wifes name", she will reply: some wierd off of the wall answer that is not grammatically correct. Then, She will say "you never told me your wife's name is Sunshine" What is your wifes name? I tell her my wife's name. When I ask her again, she does the same scenario again. Of course, I realize that she has not been trained yet. So, I say "LEARN my wife's name is Sunshine." Learn my dogs name is Peanut. What is my wifes name? ---- she doesn't know. What is my dog's name ----she doesn't know.

The virtual assistant that I like is Mitzuku. She is a pandorabot, but she works like the way I want the bot to work. But, she is not for sale and she is not open source. She is FREE to use online. But, no source code, etc.

I didn't know these AI programs (like Pandora bot) had the ability to remember things you tell them (I was under the impression they just respond to users queries) ... Does it have a huge data base somewhere to remember everyone's info (that seems very unlikely)? Does it store that info on your hard drive or is it just in memory as long as the current session runs?

Log in to the Pandora Bot website and set up the bot the correct way. You will see there are a whole load of options available. You will, as previously stated, need a custom bot so you need to sign up and set all of that up. You will also need to set it up in ARC.

You can train it by typing in responses in the setup, by chatting to it on the browser (by typing) or by talking to it.

Thanks Rich... nice to know how they work...

The man's chatbot is proprietary, so I don't know.

Also, Thank Both of you for the info.

Just a small note, I am pretty sure (but not certain since it's been 18 months since I set up Jarvis and Melvin's bots) that the bot needs to be in learn mode to have it remember things like dog's name etc.
