Today I uploaded a Flash .swf file to a local server (one I normally use for teaching). The file, based on Jamie Durrant's work, is a chatbot interface that talks to a test bot I have running on the Pandorabots site. It appears to be working quite well with none of the security issues I got when trying to run it from a local machine. Speed is the only problem. Occasionally, the response from the Pandorabot site is a little slow... Maybe I could script a 'filler' output to fill out the wait time if it gets too long.
The URL for the test bot is - Talk to Dick at Pandorabots
Have a play and feel free to add a comment.

Hi Michael
Does Dick Trickster differ from the Rogerian psychtherapist bot Eliza?

Hi Michael
Does Dick interact differently to Eliza, the Rogerian psychotherapist
JOhn
Hi Johnno.
Thankfully, Dick is a little smarter than Eliza. Dick is, in 'his' soul, an A.L.I.C.E bot. Where Eliza simply rephrased the user's statements into questions (e.g. 'My girlfriend is so mean' becomes 'Why do you think your girlfriend is mean?') the Alice engine can draw on a much broader knowledge base to build the response. All the knowledge is stored in the scripted AIML.
Hi Michael
Dick is smart AND funny ...
I typed
"I lost my job"
He replied:
"Where did you last see it?"
also I typed in "Antidisestablishmentarianism" and TD knew it was the longest word in the Dictionary...
Nice.
