Hello,

I've posted an article on my website about other Artificial Intelligence programs, including how to find them, and the direct link to that article is as follows:

http://www.cortrapar.com/100000%20prize.htm

The article has some background on the Turing Test, $100,000 Loebner Prize, quite a few links to other chatterbots, and keywords for web searches to find new ones.

Another company with a very clever free Artificial Intelligence product is Cyberpunk Software.  Their program is a conversation game called "Virtual Woman" and -- be warned -- it's politically incorrect, but ambitiously done.  If your're really a fan of Artificial Intelligence, it's interesting to see what they did, and try to figure out how they did it.  A direct link to their site is as follows:

http://members.aol.com/cyberpsoft/index.htm

If you look at the Loebner Prize page, read the transcripts of past bronze-medal winners.  It's very revealing to see where the "state of the art" is.

If you find any new programs or sites, please let me know, and I'll add them to that article!

Thanks!

Don
