I was browsing Brain Bot's logs, and found this conversation interesting,

Brain Bot: What would you like to know?

Are there more details to the error? How are you uploading it, which page/button.

Which browser are you using, or Android?

When upload a icon or avatar.

The website was updated recently.

There were some minor fixes/enhancements to the interface, and several improvements to the AI engine.

The website was updated today.

Knowledge Browser

Which bot are you having issues with, vagabot?

My guess is it is because it has exceeded its max memory size. Currently it is at 332,797 knowledge items, but the max is 100,000 for free accounts on BOT libre, so it is well over the limit. When a bot exceeds its max by a large factor its Twitter task will be disabled until the nightly forgetfulness (cleanup) task runs.

How to get botlibre to interact on Twitter? Right now my botlibre appears correctly connected to Twitter, but is not responding to inquiries, why or why not? Is there anything additional required to make it interactive?

Twitter is a big universe, searching for a single keyword like "hotseat" will bring back thousands of tweets or more. Most of the tweets will not match one of your bot's known response's questions, so it will not be able to answer them. The bot needs to know the response to a question that has a 90% match to the tweet for it to answer. The bot's will check at most 20 matching search results per cycle (30 minutes).

You could also use a Pattern for the question to use wildcards,

Thanks. I added in the status keywords. It's interesting, seems to work fine in the chat - ie any keywords I enter in it gives the response I'd like, but doesn't seem to be RT'ing / responding on Twitter for the same keywords for search. Definitely not trying to spam twitter, and this is so obscure/absurd can't imagine it's being blocked, but who knows...

The Twitter search option searches all of Twitter. It runs the search query on Twitter, and supports the Twitter query syntax.

The tweet search results may be retweeted if they also match your Retweet Keywords, or will be read and possibly replied to if they also match your Status Keywords. I think you are missing the Status Keywords, so you need to set those to match your desired keywords.

Hi all,

Does the twitter search only search tweets by the bot friends, or all of twitter? I'm trying to do the latter (i.e. anyone on twitter tweets a phrase, it responds and corrects them) but it's not seeming to work.

From the "Training & Chat Logs page" in your bot's Admin Console you can import chat logs and response lists to train your bot.

Four formats are supported:

User Messaging

The website update today contained some fixes for your issue.

The upload buttons should now work on Safari.

Thanks for reporting the issue. I will look into why the button does not work on Safari.

The error is most likely due to a character set issue.

Ok, I think I got it now. Sorry for being so dense. I was using an older version of Safari and when I was selecting the upload icon, it wasn't bringing up the popup to select a file. It works when I use Chrome.
I tried uploading an AIML file that I copied from Pandorabots and that works there, but when I try to upload it I get this error message:

First, make sure you are logged in, browse to your bot, and click on its Admin button.

On the Program tab the upload/import button is the last image button on the right. When your mouse hovers over it, it will display some import options like in the picture below. It defaults to "Self" so you need to select "AIML" and then click the upload button and select the file.

Depending on the size of the file, it may take a while to import. Once imported, it will show up as the last script

I just can't figure out how to import an AIML script. What are the steps? I go to "Program" in the Admin section. What do I do next to import an AIML script? Again, my apologies if this is covered somewhere already.

Bot Libre now has complete support for the Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML). AIML is a standard XML specification designed for scripting chat bot responses. AIML 1.0 was released in 2001, and the current 1.0.1 release was released in 2011. AIML 2.0 is currently under development. AIML is supported by many different chat bot programs and hosting services. Bot Libre supports all of the AIML 1.0.1 tags and a few common extensions.

About AIML

The website was updated today.

AIML

Welcome to the Artificial Intelligence forum.
 
Feel free to discuss anything related to artificial intelligence in this forum, or post any news related to AI.

The Bot Libre SDK is a Software Development Kit that makes it simple to add a chat bot to your own mobile application or website.

Bot Libre provides SDKs for several languages and platforms including, JavaScript, Android, Java, and iOS/iPhone.

What error did you get? I could not see any errors in the logs from your bots recently.

Make sure when you import the AIML script that you select AIML in the Format drop down. The default format is Self, so you would get a compile error from AIML if your format was Self.

How do you add an AIML script to your chatbot's list of scripts. I tried uploading a .aiml file in the programming area, but I got an error message. Sorry if this is explained elsewhere.

You can configure a Twitter bot to read and possibly respond to your friend's tweets, or search for tweets based on keywords, or a Twitter search query string.

Any mention, or direct message (i.e. "@mybot Hello") will always be responded to, if the bot does not know a good response, its default response will be used.

The website was updated today.

The update included:

The user has been blocked. To prevent your bot from learning undesirable phrases set its learning mode to Administrators, avoiding using Everyone, and use Users with caution.

hello,

i found a conversation in my chat-log like this:

The website was updated today with a fix that should fix the AIML import performance problem.

A few other AIML fixes where added as well, and the Self AIML syntax was simplified.

I looked into big AIML imports, and have found/fixed the issue, but will not be able to update the website until later.

You can currently import multiple AIML files at a time. Your browser will give you the busy icon while it imports, but you can just click import again and import another file, they will all be imported in the background. Try to avoid importing too many large files at the same time, as it can affect the server's performance.

one has found it can take an age to upload to ones bot, could you update to allow more than one aiml upload at a time, say 5-8??

BOT libre for Android 2.0

Now with live chat, chat with your friends, team mates, customers. Add your bot to chat rooms, and have it chat and learn from other people.

I found this chat log with Santa bot funny. I guess he needs some better filtering.

What do you mean by 'knowledge artifacts'?

I tested your bot, and the AIML scripts you added seem to be working.

When I add a AIML Program script, it says that is adds, but it doesn't make a difference to the bots knowledge artifacts.

Thanks.

When you send a Twitter message to a bot using a mention, i.e. "@mybot How are you?", the bot will search for the best response it knows for that question. It will first search it's program scripts, if none of those understand the question, it will then search for a known question that matches, or is similar to the question. The known question must have a known response to be considered.

With RSS, you only have a title and link, no question answer pair, so they cannot be matched

Hello,

When i set-up my bot to tweet by talking, will the bot send a keyword based answer from RSS Feed? Like answer from bots Memory.

No, do not post your user/password in a public forum.

The guest user/password I included was an example, a generic BOT libre guest user.

ok, thanks

it is secure to post my id and the password in this public forum?

Ok, I see the issue.

The issue is that you have configured your bot's access mode to 'Users', so anonymous users will not be able to connect to your bot from the iframe (only connected users). You can either set your access mode to 'Everyone', or create a guest user to connect as from your iframe.

Make sure you put the correct id for your bot in the chat parameter, i.e. your bot's id is 12551.

Here is an example of an embedded bot,

it's still not working to embedd a iframe in a wordpress page. i recieve the following error: "You must first select a bot

Sorry, seemed to be a database issue. I rebooted the database, and it should be fine now.

I will investigate further.

Exception [EclipseLink-4002] (Eclipse Persistence Services - 2.6.0.v20130919-377691b): org.eclipse.persistence.exceptions.DatabaseException
Internal Exception: org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: FATAL: sorry, too many clients already
Error Code: 0

The retweet keywords are now case insensitive, and you can specify multiple sets of keywords. Put each keyword set on a new line.

i.e.

The Twitter bot properties now allow a RSS prefix and postfix. Also you can set the RSS Keywords to filter only RSS title that include the keywords.

Changes

A template response is one that contains code in addition to text. The code is defined in the Bot Libre Self scripting language.

You can add a template response from the "Training & Chat Logs" page. You can even use a template response in a correction or learning response.

Your bots responses can include HTML or JavaScript.

From the Training page under Admin, or from the Chat Logs page, you can enter responses that include HTML or JavaScript. The HTML code will be rendered as is in the web client.

You can add responses to questions from the "Training & Chat Logs" page in your bot's Admin Console, or by importing a response list file from the "Training & Chat Logs" page. You can also have the bot learn from conversations, or you can correct your bot's responses when chatting with it.

In addition to training your bot with simple responses like,

The bot will find the best known response for a question. First it will check it's program scripts, then it will look for an exact match for the question, then it will look for a question similar to the question. If none of these find a good match, then it will use the default response.

You can create a new bot using the empty template to have a bot with no built-in phrases.

all that not really works, and i am confused...

i try to delte the complete bot and create a new one. now it seems more less clear. in the chat log i have found the old conversions and responses. this will not delete too?

No, you cannot correct part of the string in the memory.

It looks like most of your responses also have the correct character, so you should be ok just to delete them from the Memory page. If you don't have the responses to some of them, then you could filter response on the character from the Chat Logs page, export it as a chat log, or response list, then find/replace the character in a text editor, and then re-import it.

in the memory is still the � listed. i can not delete them, but i spend a lot of time to train. the caracter � means more then one letter. somtimes is ü sometimes is ö. is it possible to correct it manually in the memory?
