Title: Run Program Response
Post by: Judge on August 08, 2008, 12:46:02 pm

Everytime I ask Hal to run a program, he says, "I will open this program for you." Where is this reply located, and how can I change it?

Unfortunetely, this is hard-coded into the Ultra Hal Assistant EXE. Whenever the software is about to launch an external program it adds this phrase to the end of whatever the script's response was.

Thank you for the reply.

Is there any way to have HAL open a program without having him know that he is opening it?

Could you give an example?

I thought the premise was to make Hal or any chatbot as aware of what they were doing as possible. Behavior, moods, emotions, awareness, knowledge and understanding along with future applications such as vision, facial recognition, speech recognition, etc., are all high on the chatbot wish list.

Appreciate your thoughts....

my 2 cents:

I think, if it was possible, to make a hap, and edit the script so that when you typed in a keyword, it would activate the hap, and the program.

I don't know if this is possible, but it is possible to use keywords to make Hal say and do things, like gestures, change clothes, backgrounds, etc.

Maybe the keywords "Start Calculator"  And it would open calculator, without saying anything, or just saying what you want her to say.

You could make it as a plug-in. But like I said, I don't know if you can use haps to open programs. [?][?][?][?]
