Smart Web-Bots

Internet News has a feature relating to web-based agents; IM Gains More Virtual Agents. The article looks into the different approaches for net agents, and points out the fierce competition for what will be a lucrative market very soon.

On the more practical side, their demo is a perl script that doesn't seem too advanced at all. It doesn't look like it has any sense of state (ruling out any deliberative reasoning), and its reactive parsing of text appears below standard to me: everytime Lucy gets confused, she asks a question... needless to say our conversation was mostly questions! That said there is some humour in there, and she does answer specific questions very well -- until the template database is empty. On the plus side, she's also much more attractive than Kurzweil's Ramona character, who looks like she's been hit by a double decker bus ;)
