I've been playing with the Hal Brain Editor program to see how Hal works. It doesn't use a propietary language like the other bots out there, it uses visual basic. Because of this I think it would be very easy for all the chatterbot programs out there to stop using a boring console or web interface and use Ultra Hal Assistant's interface instead by using activex or dlls. I think we should urge other bot developers to make an Ultra Hal compatible version of thier bots.
I have taken the initiative of porting the program ALICE from www.alicebot.org into an Ultra Hal Assistant brain plug-in. It works pretty nicely. I'll setup a web page and post it in a few days so that other people can use it also. Hopefully both Zabaware and Alicebot will link to it??? It took me a total of 20 lines of code to get the 2 programs working together. I used the program Active Alice from http://www.windowpane.com/alice/ which makes Alice into an ActiveX control, which the VB in Hal uses nicely.
I think other bot programmers can convert their chatterbots into Hal Brain Plugins just as easily. I think it would be great if all the bot developers could get together and create a hybrid AI program that takes the best qualities from each program. In fact I think I'll start working on an ALICE/Hal hybrid so that both bots can run simultaneously as 1 mind.

there are also java programs like thought treasure with 100,000 common sense statements that could be added to your hybrid. there is also the open agent architecture site where there are java based programs which claim to mediate between multiple agents. In my opinion as Hal becomes more knowledgeable, and can draw from a wider variety of experiences, the more 'human-like' it becomes.
It would be cool if the different varieties of AI like virtual neural network, and expert system, could be assembled into hal to improvre it's problem solving capabilities. Good luck. I for one am extremely interested in your discoveries and contributions. tjstaar

To get your AI to use their own name , type in this line right after
set alice=nothing: (in alice.uhp)
GetResponse = Replace("" & GetResponse & "", " alice ", "<Halname>", 1, -1, vbTextCompare)

Thanks for the code brianstorm, I'll add that line to it so that uses the correct name.

I've been using Monkey's Alice plug-in for HAL and have enjoyed it.
Thanks!
Now I am trying to use my own aiml files instead of the Alice files the plug-in came with. From what I have seen so far, this is more involved than simply dropping my aiml files into the hal/alice/aiml folder. I know that I need to create all of the files in the data folder (the bot.ini, patterns.txt, etc) to work with my aiml files. I have tried running the ac.exe with my files in the aiml folder but it hasn't worked. The ac.exe runs okay but Hal will not talk with me using my aiml files. Do any of you know how I might be able to do this... or would be able to point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
Marcia
PS I tried emailing Monkey but his email address is down.
The plugin is here: http://www.freewebz.com/alicehal/

marcia2525 - did you ever find out how to use your own AIML files instead of the ones supplied with the plugin?
have been trying the same thing myself but as yet no success :(
please get back to me if you could...
Thankyou, and keep up the good work!!

Came across this site, it has the largest list of chatbots I have seen yet, thought someone might find it useful.

quote:Your AIML files would have to be compliant with AIML 1.0 or 1.01 or whatever the plugin uses, and you'd need to edit the bot.ini file to load your AIML files instead of the default set.
