A.I. NEXUS: A Showcase for Alicebots on the Internet

Artificial Linguistic Internet Computer Entity

Welcome to A.I. Nexus, a website dedicated to the children of ALICE. ALICE is an opensource chatterbot developed by Dr. Richard S. Wallace in 1995. Alice's database is written in the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language, or AIML, an XML-compliant language designed especially to facilitate the creation of artificial intelligence chatterbots. The now world-famous ALICE program won the Loebner Prize for "most human computer" in 2000, 2001, and again in 2004. The ALICE program was also the 2004 Chatterbox Challenge Champion, winning the overall, the gold medal for "Most Knowledgeable," and the bronze medal for "Most Popular" in that contest. A.I. Nexus is a showcase and link site for fine Alicebots currently being developed by some of the internet's best aspiring botmasters. Just click on a bot's icon to visit its webpage.
We hope you enjoy chatting with our bots!
