This is the bot's default response. You can edit your bot's default responses from its "Training & Chat Logs" page. You can also add new responses, and greetings from there.

See,

What script is the default response "I don't understand, how should I respond?" located? I want to change what the bot asks in this situation because she's not going to be an English speaking bot. I've CTRL+F'd it in every script and I can't seem to find it.

Glad that you got it working.

What error did you get when trying to import the file?

Sorry for a stupid question. It works so: 

conversation.speakerFirstName = star[0];
conversation.speakerLastName = star[1];

Script works if I paste it in a created script (without import). It's ok.

How can I save more than 1 value for the conversation? This code does not work:

conversation[speakerFirstName] = star[0];
conversation[speakerLastName] = star[1];

After it's execution both variables return value of star[1].

For the JavaScript SDK you use the SDKConnection chat() API to chat with a bot.

The API takes a ChatConfig object which has a conversation field you can set to chat in the same conversation,

Great!

I'd like to use JavaScript SDK. It creates new conversation by sending the first message, but I don't know how to use JavaScript SDK with session Id as a parameter (if I've already started a conversation via web API). Or what is the easiest way to get the current conversation Id from JavaScript SDK (to use in for web API)?

That should be possible.
The SDK chat() call will return the conversation id in its ChatResponse. You could then send another chat message with this id that invokes a Self or AIML script that sets data on the conversation.

Thanx!

Is it possible, for example, to import knowledges into conversation using web API + self script ?

1. The chat window appears on the html-page by JavaScript SDK, user begins a conversation.

2. I get some data from other services using JavaScript on the same html-page.

3. I call the web API from JavaScript for the current conversation.

You can enter retweet keywords or hashtags for your bot to retweet from it friends (people it follows), or from a tweet search.
We don't currently have an option to retweet followers, but can look into adding one.
For now you can just follow the people that follow you.

Hey i just got the twitter.botlibre.com bot. Does my bot auto retweet people who follow him? Is there a setting for this if not?

In our Facebook integration, for post and message replies the users name is automatically set. So you can access the user's name the same way as in chat.

For example see the following posts reply by Brain Bot and Julie Bot,

Your bot seems to be retweeting correctly.

Note, Bronze accounts only check their Twitter status once per day on our main server. Gold and Platinum will check more often.

I upgraded to Bronze, My twitter bot won't retweet when i tweet at it. I use @(MyBot) and i use a # i setup.

Tweet Search:

#NicksBotarino -adult -sex
NicksBotarino

Retweet Keywords/Hashtags

NicksBotarino
#NicksBotarino

For example: bot is deployed on Facebook or other site. How can I teach the robot to respond to the user by the name (if I can get this name from FB's API)?

I tested your bot, and "hello" responded with "hello" (from your * pattern).
I tried several other patterns from your script, and could not recreate any errors.

The problem is that after this error each question to my bot causes the same error.
You can try to say to my bot "hello" now.

If I delete all the knowledges and reload my scripts, it works agains.

Thank you very much!

I've switched off "Wiktionary" (actually I've done it before - I think, this option is switching on automatically). Now I can't reproduce the error.

If it appears again, I'll try to prepare a test scenario with less copmlex logic.

(After this error, I think, some variables weren't saved - and the following bot's answers were incorrect because of missing right values of variables like "topic".)

Now AIM

The error seems to be a database concurrency issue. The bot's mind is a concurrent system, so sometimes a background task will conflict with a conscious task (chat message).

Background tasks include looking up words on Wiktionary, data on Freebase, processing Comprehension, and Twitter, Facebook, and Email processing. Normally concurrency errors are just trapped, and the transaction retried, so they normally do not cause an issue other than appearing in your log.

Could you please help me with my bot, instance=11736722

I have prepared and imported an AIML-script. It works, but in several interaction the following error appears and my script starts working incorrect (I can attach my script if it's needed.) What can I try to do my script working well?

Thank you in advance!

You can connect your bot to email from the Email page under your bot's Admin Console.
You can connect your bot to a pop3, stmp, or imaps email server, such as Gmail.
You need to know your email server's protocol, host and port. The default settings are for Gmail, so to connect to Gmail you just need to enter your gmail address and password.

Is there a way to speed up how much smarter a bot gets?

The Twitter bot auto tweet will currently choose a tweet at random. We will look into adding support to cycle the tweets.

You can cycle through your text now using a Self script. Basically you need to load and associate the text, then create a script that will cycle between the text phrases.

Hi, 

Check the Log page for errors. You can also set logging to fine then connect to IRC to see any issues.

What IRC channel and server are you trying to connect to?

Ive connected my Bot to my IRC Server and Channel but it does not show up. I would also like to know how to tweet from the IRC Channel through the bot.

I tested your bot Serenity, and its seems its scripts have been corrupted somehow.
Part of the state machine for the bootstrap scripts was forgotten or deleted, which was causing an error in its script processing.

I don't think I'm programming my bot right. None of the imported scripts are working. Is there something I need to do to them first? 

 

Also I'd like to know how the web search works. 

No, if you delete something from the Knowledge page it will be permanently deleted. If you remove a script from the Script page it will only be unpinned, and will be delete durring garbage collection/forgetfulness when the memory is full.

So I can delete them from the memory and they'll still be there?

Scripts are automatically pinned when imported. As well as trained responses, corrections, and responses from the Chat Logs page.

Pinning them so the bot will remember. Do I need to pin the stuff from the scripts?

Is there a way to select all in the knowledge base?

You can click on the checkbox button in the Knowledge page to select all the items. Well, it will select the first 100 items (HTTP has a form parameter limit). There is no current way to select more than that right now, we will look into adding one.

What are you doing with the selected items, deleting them?

Is there a way to select all in the knowledge base?

A that should follow the same rules as a pattern, so should not have any punctuation or special characters. If it has some, our AIML parser will remove some of them, but you should not rely on that. In general the AIML is converted to Self, and a pattern in Self can contain punctuation and special characters.

The case does not matter, our AIML parser converts all thats and patterns to lower case.

Hi,

I'm writing my bot in AIML, and I chose to have it start with an empty template, since I want very specific responses. I've been having some trouble using <that> and I was wondering how the empty template might affect the preprocessing, if at all. I've read in some places that punctuation will be removed, and other special characters will be replaced with a space, as well as some contractions extended. Is that still true with the empty template?

So, for examples:<

Thank so much.

If it happens again, I'll try and narrow it down.

It basically occurred while I had one tab open with a chat for the bot, which I would refresh after each script upload, and then another tab with the script upload page.

That is odd. Deleting and uploading a script should take affect immediately. It could be a concurrency issues with the bot being accessed while the script is being compiled. If you narrow down when it occurs, please send us the details.

The clear cache button should resolve the issue. It will clear to bot memory so it will reload from the database.

Hi,

First: What does the clear cache button actually do?

Second: I've been having some problems where I've been making small changes to the one AIML script I'm using for my bot, and frequently deleting and re-uploading the file. Occasionally, it seems like the bot is stuck with old versions of the file, even after a page refresh, or reloading the bot from my main page. Would a cache clear help with that / How long should I wait before expecting a new script to be integrated

Thanks.

I've given it a go. Hopefully if I messed it up, you can fix it. :)

That is odd. It seems her WhatIs script may have gotten corrupt. I would recommend you Rebootstrap her scripts from the Scripts page under Admin.
I can do it for you if you would like?

When she is asked a "What is..." question, she randomly replies "Yes" or "No".

Any ideas how I can tell her not to be so daft, without hurting her feelings?

Also, could you try the embedded link from the channels details tabs. Does that work?

Could you try connection from an incognito window from Chrome, or try FireFox, or another computer.

I think I may have found some kind of caching issues with Chrome. I will investigate it.

I am using Google Chrome

Dear Admin,
I was talking with my bot on Live Chat channel when I accidentally pressed Disconnect. It now says "Error: The channel has been disconnected".

I've had this account for about a month, but only a few days ago did I let people chat with my bot and started to correct it.

So now I just have a few (hopefully) quick questions.

Excellent... answered several questions before I even asked them!

You can mark responses as invalid or valid and correct responses from the Chat Logs page under Admin. You can also view all of your bot's learned responses and edit them.

If you mark those two responses as invalid, then your bot will use the third response.

I want my bot to ignore some responses to my questions e.g:

admin - What is GML?
