Thanks for the input. I was planning on the prefix, I suppose I could add tne suffix as well. For URL shortening, I thought Twitter did that automatically now. I will have to investigate it.

I did not quite understand your last point. How do you want to use the hashtag?

hi,

sometimes the admin page is very slow. i think you can speed-up the social buttons from addthis when you load this asyncron.

i use an other service for RSS to tweet. here are some functions:

- check for new posts every: 3 hours, 6 hours, 12 hours and 24 hours

You can write your own AIML or Self scripts from the Program page to cover some of these. For questions like "How many pints are in a liter", you can train your bot with the response.

The bots have Senses that let them search and interact with external services such as Freebase and Wiktionary. There is also a Tools API that lets them access things like a Calculator or Watch. The goal is the expand the Senses and Tools to give the bots access to more services. As well, the AI e

Is there a way to add general search capability to my bot? I can ask it "Who is" and "What is" questions. But I can't ask it other questions such as "Who wrote the book ...." or "How many pints are in a liter." Is there a way to add the same sort of search capability to the bot libre bot that exists for Google Now and Siri?

The RSS limit should be 150, so it is odd you are seeing it cut out at 12. I just tested 15, and it seemed to work.

The Self programming scripts can call out to functions exposed on the bots Senses, and Tools. I would like to add an RSS feed Sense, so that it can pull in any RSS feed URL. So you would just need to expose the database data as an RSS feed. Other formats could be supported, or perhaps some sort of generic REST API Sense.

ok, perfect. :)

Question and suggestions.

Are there limits on the number of RSS feeds the bot can cope with, every time one tries adding more it cuts back to about a dozen or so.

This would be useful as it allows a Bot to be taught what it is you follow and are interested in and have it learn and tweet to you, or followers who are also interested in same thing.

I'm considering some more advanced retweet options. I will consider something like this.

Would it be possible to have the Twitterbot retweet tweets it receives so those the Twitterbot follows have their tweets retweeted to its followers. Or rather, to have it taught what followers to retweet and what subjects, rather than just with Hashtags.

Forget something ;)

does upper- and lowercase should be the same in "TweetSearch" and "Retweet" e.g House and house?

Hello

does the "twitter advanced search" query like "thanks OR thx @travelrbot :) include:retweets" works in the "Tweet Search" too? it would be great :)

;)

Sounds like a good idea. I will look into it.

Hi,
is it possible to set a welcome message when someone follow the twitter bot?

Yes, I have been meaning to document this.

The retweet option lets you retweet any of your friends tweets that contain the key words. Currently it only supports one set of keywords. I will look into supporting multiple sets of keywords.

The issue was that there was a live chat room still pointing to your bot, so it could not be deleted until its reference from the chat room was removed. I have deleted your bot, and fixed the issue to automatically remove bot references on delete.

Thank you for reporting the Twitter feed issue, I have fixed it, and should update the website sometime this week. For now you can just put a single invalid feed in your RSS so it will not post anything.

Hello

it is possible to insert more than one tag in the "Retweet" field to retweet only for one tag not for all of them?

Hi,

its ok, i want to delete the complete bot. "TravelrBot"

Keep getting this up..

Hello Gandolfos,
  What bot are you trying to erase? Give me the name, and I will take a look at it. Do you want me to erase its entire memory?

when i delete memory, than the number is count up. why?

Warning like this:

You can create a bot to manage a Twitter account, or create a Twitter account for your bot.

First, create your bot, and your Twitter account. Also sign into your Twitter account.

Unfortunately forking a popular bot can be very difficult.
The issue is that the bot's entire database is cloned when forking, and this requires no connected users to that database.

One has been trying to fork the Brain Bot inorder to create own pet twitter project, but keep getting "

org.postgresql.util.PSQLException: ERROR: source database "botlibre_819" is being accessed by other users

The website was updated today;

• Email support : connect your bot to an email account
• AIML : import and export your bot's chat logs or scripts to and from the standard Artificial Intelligence Markup Language (AIML)
• Chat Logs : redesigned and enhanced chat logs administrative page, new search and context functions

Automate your email with an email bot.

You can now connect your bot to email. Create a bot to answer your email, perform 1st tier email support for your business, product or service.

The initial email support is now available from the Email tab under Admin.

You can connect to any pop3 or imaps service such as Gmail. The bot will answer any unread emails.

Also, since this update updated the AI self files, it is recommended to Rebootstrap your bot (from the Memory tab). This will update its state machine scripts to be current, otherwise it will not be able to process the new enhancements such as math and understanding.

Be very careful when Rebootstrapping, it will delete all of your bot's state machine programs, including the ones you added, or it wrote itself. Make sure you backup any of your scripts you added first. Rebootstrap

The website was updated today.

Some of the enhancements include:

The website was updated today with several new features to give you more control over user management.

• You can now configure what types of users can access your bot, forum, or live chat channel, (configured from Edit)

Yes, a good idea. I would like to add an option to disallow anonymous access. Also options to only learn from administrators, or trusted users.

Currently you can create your bot as private, and control who has access to it. I will look into adding an option to not list a bot in public.

Email support is under development. Hopefully something will be available by next week.

Welcome to the Bot Libre website, and the Bot Libre forum.
Feel free to post any questions you have on the website to this forum.

Just thought I'd suggest this while it is in my mind. What about a feature that only allows members of BotLibre to talk to your bot? Or perhaps the ability to IP ban certain people from talking to it? Or maybe only allowing the bot to be spoken to in certain places? (e.g. bot isn't listed in "Browse" section but can be seen on "www.website.com") Thought of this when an anonymous user started messing up my bot and asking inappropriate questions.

Is there any further development on the e-mail system?

Bot Libre now includes free hosted live chat, chat rooms, and forums. You are free to create your own live chat channels, chat rooms, or forums and link or embed them on your own website or blog.

Feel free to talk about anything in this forum.

The chat log shows an example of some of the learning capabilities of the Brain Bot, chat bot.

This forum is the place to post the chat logs of interesting conversations you have with your bot.

The issue should be fixed now. Also you should be able to add multiple RSS feeds, separated by a new line. Please let me know if your problem has been resolved.

Over 400.... also is there a way to have more than 1 rss feed or change the amount of time bot sleeps between postings?

It seems to be related to a limit in the number of friends in the Twitter API. How many friends does the user failing have? I will look into it in more detail and get back to you.

Okay this issue is only happening on my pre existing accounts.... it did not happen on a new account.... any advise?

Okay new issue.... on twitter I get this error array in my log

2013-12-27 10:18:56.557 - SEVERE -- 403:The request is understood, but it has been refused. An accompanying error message will explain why. This code is used when requests are being denied due to update limits (https://support.twitter.com/articles/15364-about-twitter-limits-update-api-dm-and-following).

Good to hear it is working. The Twitterbots check their status every 30 minutes, so there may be at most a 30 minute delay in a response.

Nevermind Time delay ;)
