   Thank you! To be perfectly honest, as helpful as it is to read literature in a particular field: for me, it is and was definitely hands-on. I probably learned 99% of what I know in development based on the experience of just being able to l

   Try investigating current technologies and then deviate from there, like the markup language AIML. You can even make a dead simple bot which matches if a substring is contained in a string with exclusively conditional statements!

   Thank you! I've began developing web applications at the age 9, and would always try to build startups that would mimic famous ones and try to compete with them. What has driven me this far is mere passion.

   Thank you for expressing interest and checking out ACUMAN. The "about page" reflects the "old" concept, as stated on this new page: http://acuman.us/readmore.php The syntax of the ACUMANSCRIPT markup lan

   I can guarantee you nothing is getting sold- the only people to whom the information is available to is in the psychometrics page which is available to you, and it is all stored on cookies on your end which you can actually see with your br

   From a strictly technical point of view, it is at least some form of Artificial Intelligence: 1) From the perspective of the Turing Test, it biomimics human behavior and intelligence. 2) The field of artificial intelligence deals with a com

    Thank you for visiting and testing out ACUMAN. That is one of the purposes of ACUMAN, to gather psychometric data to build a profile on an individual. http://acuman.us/readmore.php

    Unfortunately, ACUMAN is closed-source due to the fact that it is actively being entered in competitive contests and trade fairs.

    It's keeping it's mouth closed- as, unfortunately, ACUMAN is closed-source due to the fact that it is actively being entered in competitive contests and trade fairs.

    Thank you for expressing interest. I have uploaded the full abstract at the http://acuman.us/full.docx URL. It has last been updated on March the 22nd, and is not up-to-date regarding some shifts in the technologies that I

    Thank you for checking ACUMAN out. I am aware of all of those bugs and I am fixing them as we converse.

    Thank you for the code you offered, and I will implement it right away. There are so many different things to debug, I kept post-posting this one. I like how you binded the events instead of calling them inline. It's also a much bette

    Thanks for checking it out. I assure you that's not the problem. :) I was tampering with a source code, and simply incorrect PHP syntax (a missing bracket) broke it for a few minutes.

    Thank you for the encouragement, and for checking it out. It is a known bug that it has trouble working in Firefox, and I am currently working on making it cross-compatible.

    I had indeed posted it previously. I am reposting it because it has been changed significantly since then in almost every respect, both algorithmically and in the concept.

    Thanks! Glad to hear it. I tried for cross-compatibility as much as possible.

    Thank you! I spent a lot of time on it so I love to hear things like that. :)

    Did you try "What is the largest unmanned artificial satellite" instead of "what is"? I know it's a glitch, but I'm thinking that it might fix the problem.

    Thank you! I programmed the actual bot using PHP, using various algorithms as shown in its about page. Regarding the styling, thank you! My favorite aspect of anything is web design.

    Thank you for the encouragement, and for pointing out the errors in it. :) As you probably know, it's still a project in development and it took me a lot of time to even get it where it is. It's still based more on conversational

    Yes, I am aware of that, but it's hard to find a really good answer and research it and compare it with other answers using the internet without taking a while to load! Also, I'm dependent on free APIs. He also knows simsimi and c

    Thank you for your suggestion. It was pretty time-consuming to get the bot where he currently is, even! And I'm certainly still working on it.

    Thank you, everybody! In part from your testing and conversations with my bot, its reached over 3,500 questions asked. A mild milestone, I know, but I'm still happy about it.

    What do you mean by doesn't seem active, are you referring to its cosmetic?

    That's odd, I don't happen to have Firefox with me, do you know what in the source code could cause that?
