Pete, does your Chatterbot react during your chat sessions? Does it respond when new mail comes in?

Chatterbot will react to what you type within applications, so yes, it interacted with me during chat sessions.

I didn't notice it react to incoming mail, however. I'm not sure if that's because of the email client I was using, because the incoming mail didn't contain keywords the Chatterbot was looking for, or because Chatterbot doesn't react to incoming mail at all.

I'd love to hear the experiences of others, too, to see what they've found. I imagine there's a lot of "hidden" responses that one may only hear after having the Chatterbot for a long time.

I've had the Dog-Cat one for several weeks. I was "strongly encouraged" by my wife and kids to not have it autostart, and to not start it all when anybody else was in the room. Guess they didn't appreciate the humor of it.

Mostly it's because the PC is in a shared space where the television is. While I'm tapping away at the PC, somebody else is often watching television. I can't hold it against them that they don't want a snarky chatterbot piping up while they're watching their shows.

It also can serve as an external speaker for an MP3 player. It will make an attempt to synch the head movements and eye flashes to the music. Kind of fun, by the motor noise is a distraction if you're looking for a clean sound experience.

GWJax, To Hack and make mods on robots is a life style and comes natural and not by choice. If a robot has a screw to open it then it must be opened!
