At last, that happened! I couldn't resist trying to build a
chat bot (thanks to Captain, for his
suzie). I mainly did it for fun, this is not a
serious, professional work. It is based on a IRC
VladBot2.1h.
Thus, Achille tries to detect sentences where
users talk to it. Then, it gives an adapted response (they are
diverse): it depends on relationship you have with it (if you
are not sympathical to it, ask it politely, or if it bore you,
ask it to keep quiet, don't insult it).
To try Achille, here is one version (perhaps not the very last
one, but perhaps yes). Let me a comment.
The current Achille's master gave me the address of
the
new version (Stere tries to improve Achille, but I can't be held
responsible for this version).
A more direct way to see Achille working is IRCnet, on channel
#nancy. Be warned: this version talks French.
You can see more details on
Achille and on its future "son" here.
