Chatting Bot

[cogeek]

Hello,
i know that the most used language for bots is AIML but i ask: Is there anyway to create with C++ a chat bot brain?
Because at chatterboc challenge page i saw many bots builded in C++
thanks

This is a classic case of answering your own question.

As Prelude taught me, pretty much any thing is possible in C/C++. Since I assume that the most fundamental concept of writing a bot is just sending data through a network, the reciever has no way of knowing what language you're using. You just need to do some data processing, and then send it down the network.

3 days ago,someone has post a topic,said he was doing the same thing - a program that can talk to people.

[sean]

That's a very different type of program.

That's a very different type of program.

why ?

[sean]

One of them is used to help humans literally, "talk" to their computers, the other one is used for spamming chat rooms.

[Hermitsky]

their purpose are different, but what they need are same - the ability to talk like a humen.
isn't it ?

[sean]

No. The thread you mentioned from a couple of days ago needs AI abilities so that it can understand human speech. The starter of this thread needs to know if it is possible to create a "chatbot" in C++. A chat bot will often post advertizing messages in internet chat rooms.

Actually, the thread starter mentioned the Chatterbox Challenge , which is definitely not just chatbots which post ads in chatrooms.

Any tutorila kids how can i create abot to talk with people or source code i can start working on?

[sean]

Try Google

[cogeek]

I don't find any good thing expect some spammy sites

[AdamLAN]

It is possible, just use a switch case or a lot of "if" statements

lol


Someday computers will take over the world. I look forward to it.

Why not (if you want to get REALLY intricate) have a C++ program that has a few limited responses and queries ("What is your name?" "Who are you?" "How are you?" "Where do you live?" "I am X" "I like cake" "I am 17"..) that are stored in an SQL database. Then code a module where if this bot comes across a question not in its database, it stores the question and starts asking it. Then it would store the replies, giving the more common ones a higher weight for IT to use later.

For example:

Hardcoded
--- Questions
--- Responses
Softcoded
--- Gathered Questions
----- Valid Responses
------- Possible followup questions
--- Gathered Information
----- Associated Questions

Something like that, perhaps?
