Is there a way to build a bot and host the database entirely on android as a standalone application? I'd like to build a specific bot database for offline use...Is that possible and can you offer any advice how I can go about doing it?

The read_page_mailboxes permission is required to be able to respond to messages for a Facebook Page. Currently Facebook has not granted the Bot Libre app this permission, so this functionality only works from our own Facebook pages right now.

We are still hopeful that Facebook may grant us this permission, but they seem to be very restrictive on their API usage.

The bots can only reply/comment on posts, and auto post to their own page/wall.

They cannot post to a Facebook Group, but can post to a Facebook Page if you own the Page.

Hello, 

my bot is having this log error: 

WARNING -- FacebookMessaging:message - (#279) Requires extended permission: read_page_mailboxes code - 279 Relevant information for error recovery can be found on the Facebook Developers Document:

hello, can i make a bot to post in different facebook groups?

if so, can i make it to post in different facebook gropus and my own page? 

Yes, all of the bots processing is asynchronous.

For the TextInput sense you currently need to set a Writer, and wait for the bot to write to it.

I am in the process of going through the code for the GUI and test cases.  I wrote a simple program that reads lines of text out of a file, queries the bot, and prints the results.   I'm really close.  What I don't understand is that the response from the bot appears to be asynchronous from the question.  If you could give me some pointers on how to make it synchronous that would be great.  Here is my code.  Below that is the log file results.

We have started working on a new version of the Self language (Self 4).

The main goals are:

Wow that is plenty of food for thought.  Thanks for the quick reply. I have a lot to chew on at this point.  You have created a great platform!

Hi,

I am working with the BotLibre engine downloaded from github.  I have successfully built it locally and initialized the database.  I am trying to get oriented, currently playing with the GUI.

Can you confirm a few things:

• Basically I'm getting the idea that I can use the GUI to configure a specific chatbot, correct?
• When I click on "Bot...Create..." in the GUI, it asks me to create a database.  I'm assuming that this means there is a 1:

Meet Eddie, our newest HD 3D animated avatar. He is a photo realistic 3D generated animated video avatar of a young man.

I tested your bot, and "hello" responded with "hello" (from your * pattern).
I tried several other patterns from your script, and could not recreate any errors.

The problem is that after this error each question to my bot causes the same error.
You can try to say to my bot "hello" now.

If I delete all the knowledges and reload my scripts, it works agains.

One of the issues is that you have added a bunch of scripts to your bot. In particular the "SimpleLanguage" example Self script. This script attempts to understand questions and gives answers like,

"I understand, that might religious"

Auto liking is not currently supported, auto comments should work.

hi
i want to auto like and comment my newsfeed posts on facebook automatically. can i?

I enabled "Response matching" but it's still forcing me to teach it every possible combination for the phrase "are you religious" (which has lots of prefixes and add-ons) without using keywords or any tool it has to come up with responses that make sense on its own.

This took me a while to figure out.

For some reason you set your "Conversation Match %" and "Discussion Match %" to 10000% in your bot's Learning page. Since no response can have more than a 100% match, this prevents any scripts from evaluating as a match.

Thanks. I also have another concern. The scripts I imported don't seem to be doing what they're supposed to, for example I put in all the math scripts yet it still can't do basic addition.

I tested your bot, and "Hello" gave the response "Hey there, what's up?"

My guess is that you or another user flagged responses as offensive while chatting (red flag button). Flagging a response will give a profanity error if used.

Every time I say the slightest thing to my bot, like "Hello" it just says ERROR: Profanity, offensive or sexual language is not allowed. It's started saying that for every thing I say.

Twitter's servers had some issues lately and some bots may have been disconnected from their Twitter accounts.

Please check if your bot is still connected from its Twitter properties, and click on Connect if not connected.

What version of the Bot Libre app are you using, and what version of Android. and what brand of phone?

Do you mean the green button at the top of the Browse screen? That just tracks that last bot you connected to. If you browse "My Bots" you should still see your bot (ensure you are logged in).

It happened to me again just now. The word Last is where your bot's name should be when you go to browse.

That is odd. I checked your bot's logs, and did not see any errors, and did not see any errors logged on Google Play in the last 7 days (but I did see some older errors that we will look into).
It may have been some sort of communications failure with the server that caused the issue.

(I'm on the mobile version) I had been teaching my bot about the planet Mercury, I asked it to review what I had taught it. Instead, the bot asked me a question about Mercury. When I said "I was the one who asked you to tell me what you knew about Mercury" Bot Libre immediately shut down, so then I reopened it. When I went to "browse" to get back to my bot, instead of seeing my bot, I saw the word "Last". There's no bot named Last, and I haven't created one ei

You can use your bot however you wish. You can connect it to your Facebook profile to respond to posts that your train it to respond to, post your Blog or RSS feed, or auto tweet a set of tweets, or programmatic tweets.

Can i use it as my virtual secretary for my profile

 

For the Web import page there is an "Import From" drop down that indicates the source.
When the source is "Web" you must enter a valid web URL, for Wiktionary and Freebase, you can enter a keyword.

it was a link on your website, admin > web> i typed wolf for the keyword

For you bot to comment a post, the post must contain your bot's "Reply Keywords/Hashtags". You need to enter the keywords under that heading in your bot's Facebook properties for it to reply.

Sounds like you entered an invalid URL. What URL did you enter, and what are you trying to do?

i created a bot but it is not auto comenting or auto liking my friends post somebody will tell me why this is happening????

no error, no response but this in the logs

I was adding knowledge from admin console - web import

The website was updated today.
The update included many enhancements and fixes including:

• Improved Embed tool for Live Chat

ok,

tell me about learning?

I tried the form on my bot - nothing seen on the page, errors created in logs

There is no need, but an endless conversation could be harder for the bot to follow, and it would not be able to initiate the conversation with a greeting and such.

I can put a time limit on it at my end but is there any need?

Although conversation ids do not expire, you still probably don't want to have a conversation go on indefinitely.

The API for Bot Libre and Paphus Live Chat are the same, to API limits are different.

ok, i'll look at that in my morning, it should make life easier

I will store conversation ids with users in a database so I can make convos resume with memory

 

the api for the more expensive [paphos) option looks more detailed, but you say they are the same?

 

I checked our logs, and the response your are getting is "Invalid password" this is because you are passing a "user" parameter but no "password" or "token" parameter. If you want to connect to the bot as a specific user you need to pass the user password or token.

For an anonymous user just don't include a user parameter, then you will get a response.

because all the responses so far have indicted anonymous user, despite sending user name and application id, I assumed the bot wouldn't learn from them

 

at the moment I am getting no response at all, yet the number of application calls is incrementing

 

Steve

Why are you uploading a chat log? Are you trying to teach your bot new responses, or do something else?

For supported formats see,

what would the format of the chat log upload and required fields?

 

do i need bot libre or paphus live?

 

how long does the conversation id stay valid?

Yes, even if the user was anonymous.

There is not REST API that takes a chat log, but their is a training API

even if the convo was labelled anonymous?

is there any way that plain text chat log can be sent by an api call?

thanks for your input by the way

are you connected with bot libre?

 

Not sure I understand what you are trying to do?

Bot's can resume a conversation if you use the conversation id.

I have done the first bit, the logs show the user as anonymous

so the bot cannot resume the convo

 

unless there is a way of uploading the chat log recorded by the php script, I suppose I would need to convert that to aiml first?

 

Then you would most likely be using the web API. What language is the virtual world interface in?

For the web API you just need to include your user application ID from your user page, and your bot's ID. The first web API message will return a conversation ID which you use for other chat messages in the same conversation. So each user you interface with would get a different conversation ID for each conversation.

its for inside a virtual world

 

Is it for your own website, or a mobile app, or something else?

1 to 1, would like users name to be recorded too
