I have been using the UltraHal software. It remembers names, birthdays, appointments, etc. and whatever you tell it and will give reminders. It can also learn by association, using "If/Then" statements. It has a Brain editor and has an enormous database containing many thousands of possible responses or you can start with a very basic brain and build up a database yourself. It can open programs for you or search the web for specific information you request. It can remember phone numbers and can also dial the number for you if you want. I am just not sure how I would use it with ARC. Maybe someone will discover a way to adapt it eventually.

Is Pandora bot a pay for service type program? I went to the site as from a post above by Rich, and tried to customize but there were only 3 "chatbots: there, Alice,Mitsuki, and sphinx. Where do I need to go to set things up on there site. Everywhere I clicked it did nothing. Thanks

Sign up for an account. It is free but donations are accepted and I personally advise it (and donate myself) so it can continue and improve..

Basically, if it works for you give them a bit of cash for the service provided. If not then you walk away no worse off than before.

Edit: Corrected phone dyslexia - thanks Tony!

Rich, have you gone a bit dyslexic lately?

I was on my phone when doing that, I haven't seen it since it's on the previous page... Have I made some boo boos? Hate my phone, it really doesn't work with my fingers sometimes.

Rich, you had me worried, not like you to have spelling errors!

Dragon 13 has just come out and I hope to be evaluating it soon - supposed to be even better but I was happy with DNS11 so it will be cool to see how good DNS13 is now, it must be awesome.

Tony

Let us know how it goes, Tony.
