We released Bot Libre 5.1 this week.
Bot Libre 5.1 includes several new features including Timers and Bot Services, as well as many other enhancements and fixes.

• Timers - Schedule and run background tasks for your bot, every hour, or every day. This allows your bot to manage mailing lists, message users on social media, scrape website data, generates reports, and perform other scheduled tasks.

It is no longer sufficient for a business to only connect with their customers on their website. Customers now use a variety of different messaging and social media platforms, and expect to be able to connect with businesses through social media. If your business is not on Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, or other platforms you are missing engaging with your customers.

Bot Libre now supports integrating with XML and JSON web services, HTML scraping, and access to Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, email, and other services. From our scripting languages Self, and AIML you can now access any web service that returns XML or JSON data. You can also scrape information from HTML web pages, and send emails, tweets, Facebook posts, Telegram posts, and more.

I have a twitter bot that I would like to retweet all the twitter accounts of Pro Cyclists. I have followed the cyclists and have keywords set up for the bot to retweet them. Ideally I would like to retweet all of their tweets. It worked briefly but believe I may have too many keywords now that the bot is not retweeting. Could anyone provide me with tips or further information on 'keywords' vs 'keyword sets' to capture and retweet all the 'followed'riders tweets?
Any help would be appreci

We are going to be migrating all of the Twitter or email enabled bots to a dedicated server soon.

The reason for this is they have divergent performance requirements to the chat bots (cyclic vs realtime). This will improve the performance of the chat bots, and reduce the cycle time for the Twitter and email bots.

Hi there - having a problem in persuading my bot to keep on responding to tweets. It seems to respond to a couple, then stops, and then the next morning will respond to some others.
