A.I. History
The first A.I Chat Box I could find was developed in 1993. This question, answer system is at the domain http://start.csail.mit.edu. The chat box was developed by Boris Katz and by his team of the Info Lab Group at MIT. The system can answer millions of English questions about places, movies, people, dictionary definitions, and more.
Many chat boxes today use voice recognition. They also sometimes use a voice to replay messages to you instead on sending text back. Many of the chat boxes use the number one selling tool on the market today with their chat boxes. This software can be found at http://www.nuance.com/pruducts/. They have everything from an open speech recognizer in 45 different languages. Witch will put your voice into text on the computer screen. To the complete opposite a program in witch will read text from the screen to the user called PDF Converter 3.
A consumer hat box is already being deployed to airlines, Online Reservations, Technical help, and Account management. This system is available to buy for your company at http://www.conversagent.com. The system is all automatic through text messages, live talk, or on screen wizards. The ASA (Automatic Service Agent) was designed to save money. Per Customer cost is at an average 20 cents per customer. While the old ways of going is much higher. For example live phone help is about $2.50 to $28.00. Online Chat cost the company about $3.00 - $10.00 per customer. Even email cost the company roughly $2.00 - $4.00 of time.
There are hundreds of chat boxes online today and I could go around for years describing each and every one. However the best resources to find what bot you are looking for is to go to http://www.geocities.com/brizglace/. This has a collection of links for chatter boxes. Also one of them who started it all; go to Alice http://www.alicebot.org. Alice as been around for 9 years and has won many world wide awards. Alice also will let you have a free version of her to create your own bot. If you want to create a more demanding bot you will have to pay for the more advanced version.
