Chatbot Companion AI

Chatbot Companion AI - By Span
This script is a chatbot. Its purpose is to increase your emotional hygiene.
Communicate with it through a text panel.
You can easily change its name and response set (if you are ambitious) in the script. Look for the config section at the top.

Expect a very low amount of intelligence.

As with any chatbot, it's never really finished. Language interpretation and comprehension is an unsolved problem in computer science. This script is still in its infancy.

The personality I'm going for is like a cyber-monk(?) with a touch of dry humor.

The bot does have a default name, although you can change its name in the code if you want.

You talk to the bot through a text panel. It works like a chat window.
You type in your message and then Span will write you a reply.

DIRECTIONS:
1. Plop down a wide LCD panel and rename it so it contains the text: "chatbot"
- You can change this in the script
2. Set the text panel to show public text
3. Set up this script to run every second or so using a timer block
4. Type a message into the panel's public field & hit OK.


TODO:
I'll continue to update this script.
- Add better response logic.
- Think of other things to do.

UPDATE 9/30/2015
Added nicer text wrapping. Added more keyword responses. Changed text panel name keyword. Changed default bot name to HAL by popular demand.
