Any suggestions for Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0?

[Ryuhoshi]

Sorry, I was just getting frustrated with the thing after spending 45 minutes trying to get it to work.  Which brain file is this?  I'll try it out, but I know zip about programming anything, and I'm almost afraid to edit them for fear of messing Hal up.

Here's some info for this -
http://www.zabaware.com/forum/topic.asp?TOPIC_ID=275
and if you search the forum you'll find lots of good info...

since I've had to re-install EVERY thing, now I'm getting this error - Run-time error '-2147319779 (8002801d)': Automation error Library not registered.

I havn't figured out what the problem is yet... so except for editing the brain, everything else works fine...

Will we be able to import 4.5 brain components into 5.0?  I am spending alot of time customizing responses etc.

Medeksza-

Enable the Hal program to be able to run under fully automatic operation. Here's the analogy: A semi-automatic rifle operates in the following manner- you squeeze the trigger, and it fires a boolet.
In a sense, the Hal program is similar you put in a boolet and pull the trigger (enter). Fully automatic operation therefore would be the program pushing it's own button (every oh say 6 to 10 seconds or
some other way to determine what the length of a 'Moment' is).
Will it cause problems in the current paradigm? Absolutly!
Mebbe it is beyond us all at the present time but the possibilities
are very great...you could make it a feature that could be enabled for
the daring with all kinds of dangerous looking warning signs around the check box!  >B)

Also it would be kewl to have gauges on the Interface that show where
the variables are during run-time    >B)

I've seen a bot do like what you are talking about. My bot was chatting with a bot, and this bot actually sent a couple of lines before mine answered the first line (this can only be done if you put a time delay in your bot like I did). Makes you think that bot was a real person since it sent a couple of lines like that... I've always thought Hal should wait a while, then if the user didn't say any more then Hal should ask where you went off to... What ever...

My only request is a bilt in ICQ, MSN, Messenger chat bot

[datazmurfen]

I have a good idea.

Let Hal also learn text from clipboard.
So that I can copy a text from the Internet to the computer clipboard and then right klick the Hal icon and then select learn from clipboard.

It would be so much quicker then first saving the text
into a text file.

Hi
Make an ICQ Ultra Hal bot too.
So that Ultra Hal can be used with ICQ
on the same way that it can be used with AOL

[caroleann150]

Hi - I think someone mentioned this already, but I would love Hal to be more pushy to be proactive, not just wait for me to start a conversation.
Also I'd like to lose the box interface if poss...

Whatever I will be getting 5.0!!

Thanks

first i would like to say that after 8 weeks of query on the net i finally found this prog and it is the BEST!! but there is always room for improvment so her goes
1)Make the prog more like a MS office agent so that the interface only pops up when you click on it but you can still talk to it without the interface.
2) Add a forget command
3) make agents interactive with eachother, so that friends can share info or facts, or so that networks can get info out quickly
4)add a macro making tool so that people can make hal do their work for them
5) hal is an a.i. that is on the computer. one can imagine that with hal they are interacting with their computer, (this might be a security risk) but give hal more power in the computer system, so that one can use hal to delete files rename files and so on.
6) have webhal check email and websites for updates that would be cool
7) this is an awsome prog so right now i cant think of anything else peace.

Will Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0 be available soon?

[Kboyce19]

Thus far, i have been far more impressed with ultra hal as an artificial intelligence program that can accomplish practical tasks. I find it highly interesting for a computer to be able to think in its own way as this program allows. However, there is one simple things that could be done that would make hal infinitely better and more appealing to even a wider variety of consumers. If hal were given the ability to integrate itself into the execution of more windows functions and utilites, it could be even more useful. This includes browsing the local file system, and the like. Basically, all I think hal needs is more awareness of the system in which it is installed. Then the ai capabilites could be even more useful.

I just want to say When Hal version 5 going to be release  

[case]

I'd like to see a built in - on the fly - spell checker.  Perhaps with the ability to put some words in " quote " marks if they are really spelled a certain way to prevent them from being autocorected.

Zabaware would like to hear from you what other changes you would like to see in Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0. Are there any minor annoyances, bugs, or interface features you would like changed? Any major features you would like added? If it is feasible to implement your suggestions without pushing the release date too far it will be done.

Setup default dword "PreallocMemory" to use upto 50% of systems
physical ram (allow pre-loading of x)

x - setup a directory inside halasst default location for one
to place text files with any required knowledge bases in text
format.  (over 6 years w/AI's I have almost one gigabyte in
2,000 files (and those are not happily chopped down to 64kb).

Allow parsing of text file upto 512 kb (256 kb minimum), for
exampe...a full bible is about 4.5 mb in text mode, and an
encyclodedia can be 1.3 to 4.3 mb for each journal/section.
A bit more info asto whether Hal accepted the file properly
would be kewl...like when it jams with some claimed file error.

Shrink the menu box (or make it optional) so that those who
do prefer msagent type characters can move/paste them where
they wish and for speech recognition areas allow the avatar
to be viewable and the menu box hidden.

I'd even consider a more spartan menu/gui and have it wider
so that the queries/replies are across the whole screen/display
sort of like a top title bar design...just 4-5 lines deep.

let us know the capacity of hal for file/data knowledge bases
and maximum size of *.brn/*.uhp type files...as you like.

possiblity to group/join multiple hals for interaction or
conversations on remote computers or a lan may help for
some distributed/shared adventures (is very doable).

perhaps a path setting configuration so one can load
the data/knowledge base files (as required) onto a
ram disk...speed increase of around 4x for iterations.

flash (macromedia) plugin would be kewl, I have worked
with older people putty and hapotek critters and they
do make more wonderful scenario's/websites than they
do as Solo avatars...so if multiple instances/installs
of hal were feasible...one could create (if the menu
box lost it's "possessiveness") desktop entertainment
or learning/faq modules with multiple agents/persona's.

ok...that was short list, nothing hard in there.
