Programming using the Ultra Hal Brain Editor / Packaging miniature "HAL" brains

I apologise, I do not intend to appear offensive or self-righteous.

Let me rephrase my previous statement:

In the movie "I, Robot" starring Will Smith there was an instancer program which, if questioned correctly, would provide the correct answers, but ONLY IF QUESTIONED CORRECTLY. Now, take a basic chat-bot and combine it in essence with the concept of Interactive Fiction and you have a fictional character that you can interrogate for information.
Add to it the basic knowledge and utilities (such as web access) that the HALBOT assistant has and you have the next step up in Interactive Fiction games.

Now, to make a demonstration of this widely available to the public to inspire interest I would need to send out basic .exe files which any user could use - not just Hal Brain experts.

Again, I apologise for any apparent arrogance on my behalf. - I was merely citing "I, Robot" and "Facade" as examples to illustrate my point.

I am aware that Hal is the BEST AVAILABLE AI chatbot on the web so far, however I did not wish to illegally distribute it or copy an paste it into other user's Hal Bots.
I am sure you are aware of the term "Interactive Fiction". If you are not I would recommend looking up such classics as Zork or Facade. I am sure that a budding AI enthusiast like yourself has also watched the unfortunate travesty that was "I, robot". Now, negating the fact that the movie ignored the very basis of the book, one aspect of it did interest me: An instance bot containing certain packages of information that can only be accessed by asking the correct series of questions.

To summarize: I wish to know if a Hal Instance can be used as a form of interactive puzzle. A new form of puzzle-based gaming and interaction.

I am aware that giving the HalAssistant program away for free is illegal. However, what I was wanting to accomplish was a completely closed off and locked down version of a chat bot - complete with "memories" and information. The Hal brain editing software seemed to be the best form of apparatus for that - and that is why I wished to purchase it.
If, however, it is simply a one-use-coded auto-chatbot then perhaps another progam would be of better use?

I was wondering just how possible it would be to give a "HAL" brain a certain set of information before packing it up (as a whole) and sending it to another user?
