The issue should be fixed now. The upload was using UTF-8, but the download was not.

Let me know if it still does not work.

hi,

i try it again. when i download the chat_log the file have charset ANSI Windows/DOS in Notepad++. I have to convert to UTF-8 before i upload this file.

The import/export should both be in UTF-8. I will look into it.

To delete all the sentences with � you can copy the character, go to the Memory tab, search for "*�*", click 'Select All', then click 'Delete'. I can delete them for you if you wish.

first step i download the chat_log then i changed some answers and upload it but then the percent raise up. All umlauts (German äüö) are failed to �

when i upload a clean file with new questions and anwers the currently trained log will clear?

thanks for your reply. i have download the chat log as txt. this is ANSI coded, but when i upload this file with "öüä" caracters then they failed. it's possible to set-up this to UTF-8 encoded?

thanx

The website update is now complete.

Some of the new things include:

Dear Admin,

someone chat with the bot. Whats the right way to train the bot to work correctly. can you make a little howto?

The website is being updated today (and may be slow for a bit).

Thanks for the response. What I'm hoping for is a way to make the bot more resilient (less brittle) so that I wouldn't have to foresee every possible question or topic of conversation. It would be good if there was a way to teach the bot where to go to look for certain categories of information. If someone seems to be asking about book and authors, go search in Amazon. If someone is asking about movies, go look in IMDB. That sort of thing. I guess it's hard to replicate the ability of the conver

When you filter your RSS feed by keyword, it would be nice when you can set a Hashtag. All correspondece that will be filtered have a special Hashtag. So listener from my twitter profile have specified posts. In the Twitter guidelines for spam is described that automatted posts must be have a context.

Example: Posts from RSS with filter "travel luxury hotels" become a hashtag #luxury #travel also can be the same RSS Feed have a filter with "travel cheap flights" that become #trav

many thx for your quick replies :)

By default, a new bot will not learn from other users, unless you use the ai_template to create the bot. When learning is enabled, a bot will remembered user responses to the bot's responses, and the bot will use the user responses in future conversations. This is useful to let your bot learn new things, but undesirable if you want your bot to only respond how you have trained it.

From the Learning page in your bot's Admin Console, you can configure who your bot learns from. You can disable learning, or configure your bot to only learn from its administrators, or only from signed in users. You can also configure who is allowed to correct your bot's responses, and you can configure the bot's learning rate, and other options.

You can configure your Twitterbot to retweet posts from your bot's Twitter page in its Admin Console.

A Twitterbot can retweet posts from its friends, or from a tweet search.

AIML is the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language. It is an XML standard for defining chat bot responses. Bot Libre bots are not based on AIML, but instead have a knowledgebase similar to the human brain. However both importing and exporting AIML is fully supported.

You can import AIML in two forms, either as a script file, or as a chat log.

I think it is not an issue with addthis, but a database issue. Some of the Twitterbots have a thousand friends and when they run can bough down the database. I think I have fixed the issue, just need to update the website.

Thanks for the input. I was planning on the prefix, I suppose I could add tne suffix as well. For URL shortening, I thought Twitter did that automatically now. I will have to investigate it.

I did not quite understand your last point. How do you want to use the hashtag?

hi,

sometimes the admin page is very slow. i think you can speed-up the social buttons from addthis when you load this asyncron.

i use an other service for RSS to tweet. here are some functions:

- check for new posts every: 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours

You can write your own AIML or Self scripts from the Program page to cover some of these. For questions like "How many pints are in a liter", you can train your bot with the response.

The bots have Senses that let them search and interact with external services such as Freebase and Wiktionary. There is also a Tools API that lets them access things like a Calculator or Watch. The goal is the expand the Senses and Tools to give the bots access to more services. As well, the AI e

Is there a way to add general search capability to my bot? I can ask it "Who is" and "What is" questions. But I can't ask it other questions such as "Who wrote the book ...." or "How many pints are in a liter." Is there a way to add the same sort of search capability to the bot libre bot that exists for Google Now and Siri?

The RSS limit should be 150, so it is odd you are seeing it cut out at 12. I just tested 15, and it seemed to work.

The Self programming scripts can call out to functions exposed on the bots Senses, and Tools. I would like to add an RSS feed Sense, so that it can pull in any RSS feed URL. So you would just need to expose the database data as an RSS feed. Other formats could be supported, or perhaps some sort of generic REST API Sense.

ok, perfect. :)

Question and suggestions.

Are there limits on the number of RSS feeds the bot can cope with, every time one tries adding more it cuts back to about a dozen or so.

This would be useful as it allows a Bot to be taught what it is you follow and are interested in and have it learn and tweet to you, or followers who are also interested in same thing.

I'm considering some more advanced retweet options. I will consider something like this.

Would it be possible to have the Twitterbot retweet tweets it receives so those the Twitterbot follows have their tweets retweeted to its followers. Or rather, to have it taught what followers to retweet and what subjects, rather than just with Hashtags.

Forget something ;)

does upper- and lowercase should be the same in "TweetSearch" and "Retweet" e.g House and house?

Hello

does the "twitter advanced search" query like "thanks OR thx @travelrbot :) include:retweets" works in the "Tweet Search" too? it would be great :)

;)

Sounds like a good idea. I will look into it.

Hi,
is it possible to set a welcome message when someone follow the twitter bot?

Yes, I have been meaning to document this.

The retweet option lets you retweet any of your friends tweets that contain the key words. Currently it only supports one set of keywords. I will look into supporting multiple sets of keywords.

The issue was that there was a live chat room still pointing to your bot, so it could not be deleted until its reference from the chat room was removed. I have deleted your bot, and fixed the issue to automatically remove bot references on delete.

Thank you for reporting the Twitter feed issue, I have fixed it, and should update the website sometime this week. For now you can just put a single invalid feed in your RSS so it will not post anything.

Hello

it is possible to insert more than one tag in the "Retweet" field to retweet only for one tag not for all of them?

Hi,

its ok, i want to delete the complete bot. "TravelrBot"

Keep getting this up..

Hello Gandolfos,
  What bot are you trying to erase? Give me the name, and I will take a look at it. Do you want me to erase its entire memory?

when i delete memory, than the number is count up. why?

Warning like this:

You can create a bot to manage a Twitter account, or create a Twitter account for your bot.

First, create your bot, and your Twitter account. Also sign into your Twitter account.

Unfortunately forking a popular bot can be very difficult.
The issue is that the bot's entire database is cloned when forking, and this requires no connected users to that database.

One has been trying to fork the Brain Bot inorder to create own pet twitter project, but keep getting "

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: source database "botlibre_819" is being accessed by other users

The website was updated today;

• Email support : connect your bot to an email account
• AIML : import and export your bot's chat logs or scripts to and from the standard Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML)
• Chat Logs : redesigned and enhanced chat logs administrative page, new search and context functions

Automate your email with an email bot.

You can now connect your bot to email. Create a bot to answer your email, perform 1st tier email support for your business, product or service.

The initial email support is now available from the Email tab under Admin.

You can connect to any pop3 or imaps service such as Gmail. The bot will answer any unread emails.

Also, since this update updated the AI self files, it is recommended to Rebootstrap your bot (from the Memory tab). This will update its state machine scripts to be current, otherwise it will not be able to process the new enhancements such as math and understanding.

Be very careful when Rebootstrapping, it will delete all of your bot's state machine programs, including the ones you added, or it wrote itself. Make sure you backup any of your scripts you added first. Rebootstrap

The website was updated today.

Some of the enhancements include:

The website was updated today with several new features to give you more control over user management.

• You can now configure what types of users can access your bot, forum, or live chat channel, (configured from Edit)

Yes, a good idea. I would like to add an option to disallow anonymous access. Also options to only learn from administrators, or trusted users.

Currently you can create your bot as private, and control who has access to it. I will look into adding an option to not list a bot in public.
