HotShotBot: A simple AIML based Chat Bot written in C#

Author: Vivek Yadav (www.shallvhack.com)

ABOUT HotShotBot

HotShotBot is an AIML based Chat Bot written in C# -- a computer program you can talk to. It has an easy Installation.

HotShotBot is actually a very simple AIML Bot which actually designed to help you to create your very first AIML Chatbot in C#.

HotShotBot IS HELPFUL:

HotShotBot is able to answer most questions of the form "Who/what/where/when is/was/are/were X?" -- though his answers are occasionally more entertaining than accurate. He can also help find the meaning of some acronyms.

IT CAN SPEAK:

Currently this feature is being served by using Microsoft Speech Recognition (Microsoft.Speech).

FUTURE DEVELOPMENTS:

I'm also planning to make it able to take speech input,but reliability is a concern . He should someday be able to provide definitions or synonyms for any word in the dictionary, query your address book, and even perform a few simple remote system-administration tasks!

SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS

HotShotBot has been tested on Windows 10,Windows 8,Windows 8.1.However, he should work on any Microsoft system(or you can also use mono on linux):

.NET Framework
Enough available RAM (depending on the AIML set you're using)

INSTALLATION

HotShotBot could be Easily Installed by executing the "HotShotBot.exe" (Setup File) availabe at http://hotshotbot.sourceforge.net The Installer is created using Inno Setup Compiler (www.innosetup.com).
