Welcome to KnyteTrypper's Chatbots!
This is a site about chatbots. I grew up loving sci-fi, reading books and watching movies about intelligent robots. I'm a relative newcomer to the world of computers, but by some extraordinary good fortune, I found my little niche on the internet right away, and almost from the first time I sat down at a computer I've been enchanted by chatbots. Chatbots are artificial intelligence programs created for the purpose of simulating conversation.This site is devoted to chatbots. Here there are various types chatbots to talk to, and a small selection of chatbots you can to take home with you to your own pc.At this point my favorite chatbot is Dr. Richard S. Wallace's ALICE, a program which has now won the Loebner Prize Contest for "most human" computer three times. My site currently features four Alicebots for your conversational pleasure. Laylahbot is an unmodified Pandorabot which uses the original, prize-winning ALICE AIML set. In theory bots that are revised and republished lose their client information, whereas unmodified bots can remember their clients from one visit to the next. Laylahbot is a test of that function. Her program will remain completely unaltered and have no custom replies added, as a demonstration of the capabilities of the basic ALICE program. Lolabot is my oldest chatbot, hosted at Runabot. She is a full-featured chatbot, with many special functions in her program which use Runabot's unique "system call" feature. Ask for her menu and she'll tell you about them. AIlysse and Lilith are both hosted at Pandorabots. Neither of them incorporate the system call feature which Lolabot's program has, but more current AIML sets make them better conversation simulators. AIlysse started with the standard ALICE 1.0 AIML set, and Lilith's brain is based on the newly-released Annotated ALICE AIML set.
AIML stands for Artificial Intelligence Markup Language, the computer code in which an Alicebot's brain is written. Alicebots learn by "supervised training," which means that the botmaster modifies the AIML files to add new knowledge and make revisions to the responses of the Alicebot brain.
As a contrast, this site is also home to Aida, an UltraHal Representative chatbot from Zabaware. Although it has a vast database which can be modified by the botmaster, unlike Alicebots, the UltraHal is also capable of learning from its conversations in realtime.
Last but not least, no chatbot collection can be complete without Eliza, the original psychotherapist chatbot. Ai0ia is an Eliza chatbot hosted at Runabot.com. She's not really a doctor, she just plays one on the internet.
I hope you'll chat with all of them, and discover the current state and potential of artificial intelligence.
Visit my download page for some chatbots you can download directly from this site. These bots are all open-source, or GNU Public License software, or otherwise used with implicit or explicit permission of their creators. There are some very good bots here, and if you're interested in artificial intelligence I hope you'll check them out.
