I just purchased Hal last night, and I have to admit I am totally newbie to all of this. But it seems to be what I am looking for.
What I want to do with Hal is have it parse wikis about subjects that I would be interested in and auto enter it into it's brain when it is idle. And after a certain length of time it would expire this information. Is there a way to do this? Any help is appreciated
That would be the Holy Grail in my life.
There certainly is a way to do it, someone with time and talent will need to write a plugin that does the job. It doesn't exist yet, as far as I know, but it is certainly do-able.
1) Start a database of topics sorted by frequency of use in user input
2) Use the inactivity timer to begin a search
3) Parse out all the garbage on the found pages
4) Parse page into Statements or paragraphs
5) Write to general knowledge database.
Easy as pie... except for those two parsers...
This is exactly why I was asking about a method to read information directly into Hal by voice. Better than writing a parser, from my point of view.
