MSN CHAT BOTS
NOTE:
I'm about to update this page because it's outdated. Search
the news for bot to discover recent news!
"Artificial Intelligence". You've read about it
in Wired, you've seen the film by Spielberg and now you want
to experience communication with a non-human interface. No
problem! Chatbots live on MSN Messenger too and are becoming
extremely popular among companies (who realise their positive
effect on customer relations) as well as private users (who
try to have the most funny conversations with them). Below
is a list of intelligent bots who have been spotted on MSN
Messenger.
Because the MSN protocol is quite unstable, a lot of the bots
will be offline for an indefinite period.
Some bots authorize you right away, others take weeks before
they approve you. And some just never add you to their contacts.
Don't flood, boot or lag chat bots.
It's kinda lame because you KNOW they can't fight you back..
or wait a minute: they can block you and your IP and put you
on the chatbot blacklist. Just don't mess with the bots, okay?
Most bots learn from what you say and respond to them. Or
at least their developers analyse the conversations. So pay
attention to your language, because you're actually co-developing
the bot! Now ain't that great!

Interesting links about intelligent chat bots for MSN Messenger:
- SDBA Revolution Instant Messaging Application Server is an extremely useful open-source server written in Perl by Duncan Lamb to provide an architecture to simplify and streamline the process of writing applications that run on an Instant Messaging network. It makes writing chatbots as easy as writing PHP or Per and supports MSN, AIM, and ICQ. Demo's for MSN, AIM, ICQ and YIM, the sourceand a short tutorialare all available at the Revolution Instant Messaging Application Server homepage.
- Intellibot 5.0 by Silverspeed allows you to make your own chatterbots which answer automatically to the trigger words of your choice. Samples for a hangman game and a magic 8 ball script are included. Programmers can even add their own functions using VBScript or DLL files. So, like Intellibot's very own motto says: "Make botz, bot war" and start by downloading it here (MSN Messenger 4.x ONLY!)
