I have been using the Pandorabot plugin with some success. It is dated though and based on the old Alicebot I believe which is about 15 years old by the looks of the files it accesses.
The site has moved on and we are using a backdoor to access now. They have implemented AIML 2.0 which is greatly superior and the website interface has been substantially improved.
Is there any intent to upgrade this plugin? I can't imagine them maintaining the old site forever.
I use this functionality constantly. After reading the Google AI tutorials I am seeing this is not the chatbot solution. I believe the solution is out there, The plugin just needs updated to access it.

I Will publish in 3 or 4 weeks a plugin for a bot similar to pandora
Synbot with features greater than aiml 2.0
So be patient i need just some time to finish the integration testings
And look http://simlbot.com/

While writing your plugin I hope there are easy methods to make calls like you can with AIML. You have to manually edit the AIML files to insert the calls. Would be cool if it could be done via the plugin.
I don't believe Google API.AI is the way to go based on David C's posts and video on the matter.
Look at the features on the site
The siml editor is powerful no need To develop éditing in plugin
SimL can be also easily extend with new spécific tags
I have développed tags with interface To Wikipedia and weather api
In progress tag To access translator api Microsoft a way To have french responses with vision plugin
I Will try To publish as soon as possible
Doc and tutorial are in progress but not my cup of tea ....

Any new developments are good. I am still interested in seeing the AIML 2.0 updated in the original Pandorabot control. I imagine it would be really easy but then again, I can't do it with my skills yet.
I look forward to good news!
SynBot Studio seems very easy to use. Looking forward to the plugin.
Any idea when it will be available?
In less than 2 weeks before my holidays
I just spend more time in deeper testing and tutorial
Be patient

My original question still stands though about the panorabot plugin being upgraded to AIML 2.0. IS there any intent to do this? Would be really nice.
PandoraBots has two different models:
1) Playground
Registration requires a "Social account": Facebook, Google+, Twitter, Yahoo.
Once you connect your social account will share details with PandoraBots
no API
2) Alaas = Artificial Intelligence as a Service
Requires a Subscription Plan starting at $9 per month
API is available.

https://playground.pandorabots.com/en/faq/#two
ARC control is using the old pandorabots free site.
Asking for new version means changing from PandoraBots free to a paid version ?
Are my findings correct ?
V0 version of my plugin is online with Linked tutorial just some hours before starting my holidays
I hope you test it and give me your feed-back

Just found this discussion [bit late I know] but am also currently looking at the latest Pandorabot, and see that its a chargeable service, and don't want to try the older version that the site says dates back to 2105. Plus looking at Google API.AI
Whats the latest ideas for the best service to use for the InMoov?
Thanks Lorn
I am also trying API.AI or Dialogflow now as it is called. It is a little harder to understand and I just need to spend the time looking at it.
So to start, try using the Pandorabot 1.0 and see what you can get from it. Then move on to the more complex plugins.
Thanks for you quick response, really appreciated.
I will try the older Pandorabot as suggested.
I have also just started with the API.AI service and its working in EZ software with its plugin, so far so good.
Just now looking at the SIMLBot software as well. That looks very similar to the upgraded Pandorabot.
Thats my weekend sorted then, thanks again, enjoy yours

I'am the "Someone" who made the plugin that use the SIMLBot software.
As I have continued to add some features to this plugin , I will upgrade it in the next few days ( just some work to update the tutorial.
