Lillian was a virtual librarian. She was designed to answer user queries about books, and particularly library holdings. As well as being able to tell a user if a library holds a particular book she could also:
- Deep link them to the library's own holdings page for the book, which may have availability and reservation data
- Direct them to another library that holds the book if the local library doesn't
- Direct them to the right page on Amazon if the book is not held
- Advise them of books by a particular author held
- Advise them of books on a particular subject held
- Tell them what the book is about
- Tell them what other people thought of the book
- Tell them what books people like who also liked this book
You could ask Lillian questions like:
- Do you have a library near........ (e.g. Bury) - is a good idea to get Lillian to find you a nearby library before looking for books
- I live near ....... (e.g. I live near Bury) do you have .......... (e.g. Snowcrash)
- Do they have ...........
- Who wrote ...............
- What is * like
- What is * about
- What else is like *
- What else did * write
She is not programmed for general chat.
Lillian combines:
- The Discourse™ Natural Language Interface and
Chatbot engine from Daden Limited
- The Sitepal™ animated
avatar and text to speech system from Oddcast Inc
- Web services interfaces from:
o Talis
o Amazon
o OCLC
Lillian is a web native, web delivered application, requiring only a browser with the Flash plug-in installed to work (Flash plug-in only required for avatar and text-to-speech).
The current version of Lillian is only a proof-of-concept. As such she lacks the security, resilience and error trapping that would be found in a production system, and only implements some of the knowledge cases which would be required in a publicly accessible system.
A text only version is also available for low-bandwidth use.
FC Utrecht
a chatbot representing FC Utrecht
De gemeente Utrecht had ter promotie van het voetbal WK tot 20 jaar in die stad een chatbot voor MSN Messenger, om jongeren te informeren over het WK en de stad Utrecht. Radiostation FunX deed de promotie. Inmiddels is de chatbot ter ziele. De einddatum is geschat.
Met de BigBrother buddy kan je kiezen welke camera je wilt bekijken en krijg je een alert als de televisie-uitzendingen beginnen.
Talpa staat voor je langs de lijn. Bij de aftrap van elke WK wedstrijd geeft jouw buddy je automatisch een alert. Zodra er wordt gescoord ook.
Hi, I'm your Trading Bot.
Alice is a proof of concept of eCreation. This chatbot connects various data sources on the Internet like trains, weather and translations services. On top, Alice can have quite intellingent conversations.
Play several different games with this bot
Ditto the donkey converses a limited range of topics, rather than trying to emulate the wide knowledge of an adult human. Ditto also has a limited emotional capability. Initially this will be one-dimensional, like a newborn baby, on a scale from happy to unhappy. Currently, it is trying to understand the basics of English.
When was the last time you had an intelligent conversation with a chatbot ? iEinstein is attempting to have an intelligent conversation with civil-minded people, whatever their age. He wants to learn from you, and to offer back something of interest whenever he has it to give. We think you'll enjoy chatting with iEinstein, and hope that you'll return again and again to participate in his improvement.
