Hey bros, I really would like to make a forum bot like this one
http://www.vereor.com/forum/viewforum.php?f=11 where I can teach it to answer repetitive questions that get asked all the time as well as have a conversation with people.
I figured I would start with something simple... like a bot that posts the daily world news, or sports scores... something like that...
Is this possible with Perl or would I have to use this AIML one
http://alice.sunlitsurf.com to interact with my site and do what I need?
Also, do you have any idea how to get started?
Well, since my first bot won't be interactive (until I get a brain for it) it doesn't have to monitor the forums for new messages... just post to them at a timed interval.
So I guess it's a simple matter of calling an HTML page (or PHP in the case with my forums) and getting the bot to fill out forms. Sounds pretty simple to me, but I don't know where to start...
