Ultra Hal 7.0 / conversational database

« on: April 06, 2003, 04:17:34 pm »

I am not sure where the toy starts and the tool begins, I asked Hal what version he was and he said:

"What version am i? It's apparent that we should consult an expert. Oh please; I can't think of What Alessio! What version am i?"

I know there are people that are deighted to talk to computers for the fun of it, but, what is your target customer, power users that know hardware and software can do what we expect of Hal or people who want to chat with a bot? they can do that for free at 1000 places on the net, can't they?

Hal should know what version he is, how much memmory the PC has, empty space of the HDD, warn you if your are runing low on HDD, I mean, they are simple calls to APIs.

Just a thought.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Having trouble with voice Recognition too (II?)

Wow, lots of problems with speach recognition.

Hum, you use M$ speach recognition engine, or other software, and this feature is not available unless we buy the software?

I still think you should have a fully functional hal demo for 30 days, then, if we like it, we buy it.

Good luck.

Ultra Hal 7.0 / Any suggestions for Ultra Hal Assistant 5.0?

« on: April 06, 2003, 03:49:59 pm »

My ambitions are a bit lower than for hall to tell me what happened to someone in the Bible, perhaps, since I am a programmer, I cannot imagine an AI engine that could "learn" the Bible, but if it can be done, more power to it.

I would like for Hal to interact with Outlook using ODBC, is very easy, and then I would not have to have Hal learn info by typing or talking, or even if I exported the data from outlook (contact and Calendar) then I would have to have 2 sets of contacts and calendar.

This is not good, since I wourk for a company that uses M$ Exchange Server as its backbone for internal communications exchange system, so, I can schedule meetings, give somebody permission to viem, add and modify contacts and scheduled items and so on, I can't give that up.

ODBC, has an "Outlook" source, it would rock if Hal could gen "Bob's work number" from Outlook, delete it, or add it, you would be the first one to do this in the market.

Still thinking about buying it. I am an IT guy, source of info for most people I know, I can spread the word, but the "Forget" command and the "Outollok" connectivity are big set backs.

Thanks.

Cool, I winziped all the Alessio*.* files I could find and not Hal no longer thinks that "Yoru email is not alessiohotmailcom"

Perhaps a forget command would de helpfull.

Thanks.

Is there a a forget command?, I tell him to forget my email and he tells me my email, then asks me if it is correct, I say no, he tells me I am negavite.

Anybody read the Hicthicker's guide to the galaxy? reminds me of the drink making machine ...

How can I convince hall that I don't have an email address, I am a programmer, can I edit some database? can I tell him to forget something? I tried every posible combination of words ...

When I tell him to email somebody, he tell me my email address, and he got it wrong, with no @ and no .

I tell him "How can you forget something I told you?" and he tells me some reverse psychology chat bot answer ...

Big bug

Also, have a full featured demo version that lasts 30 days, otherwise is like testdriving a car with only 2 cylinders, I don't know if I like the program, since I have not tested all its features and how can I make an educated desicion to buy it if I don't know how all it features work?
