I've been experimenting with Hal reading text files. The hard part (not too hard) is for Hal to separate the paragraphs and sentences into single sentences.
In my view, setting up some gui/panel that can create or generate
a database not unlike how uhal uses/stores the WordNet dictionary
would be an enormous asset. Sort of a Q&A or data repository.
Then interactive help systems and tutors could be made as plugins.
Most of the text reading/storing uses seem to be in way of
philosophical discourses (uhal reads story...then discusses).
Although having uhal read email/documents/letters could provide
some help (later on time-wise) as in "what did i write say...".
I have dozens (> 2gb) of text/ebooks/tutorials setup in text
format that would be cool to integrate even for a home-schooling
type of project, and don't mind converting to another format if
there exists some knowledge or data-base plugin capability.
Ability to render/link to photo/image/sound could be considered.
sampe gui/idea link added:

then if modular one could start out with (or switch to)
several entirely differently focused avatars/AI characters.
To a degree some of this is in differing brain plugins.
I'd also like to see Zabaware consider (in future) allowing
uhal to run entirely off a ramdisk (4x or more faster access)
and in that case large data modules would not slow uhal down.
(data/files can be written back to hdd before system shutdown)
heh, don't mind me, I'm sort of making/taking notes as I go. ;-)
