Four is a xAP chat bot. It takes questions like "Is the hall light
on?",
"What's the weather like on friday?", "What is Fred's mobile
number","turn the hall lights on","What is the answer
to life, the
universe and everything?" and it will do it's best to reply. It gets
its
information from Switchboard (1.1+), Floorplan (1.1+), xAP Weather and
Wikipedia. You can ask it questions either by xAP, Four's web interface
or through xAP Jabber.
As this is a initial release it's training is only based on questions
I've asked it. I would ask users to help update it for it become more
accurate. Whenever Four can not answer a question it logs the question
to unknownquestions.txt so if the contents of that file, minus anything
confidential, could be emailed to me it will greatly improve now it works.
For those that have been trying out earlier versions there are a couple
of new features:
Ability to query and report the weather, weather forecasts and
sunrise/sunset
A config screen to set MPH/KPH and C/F for weather reports
In the settings file an option to disable the sending of replies if it
doesn't know the answer
Download from mi4.biz
Enjoy
James
