Summary: Experienced C / C++ programmer wanted – Chatbot development., for David Levy, Loebner Prize Winner
Intelligent Toys Ltd is the developer of the chatbot called Do-Much-More which won the 2009 Loebner Prize. Our chatbot software is very different from the plethora of AIML bots that have been developed in recent years and employs ideas which, so far as we know, are original. Please visit us at http://www.worldsbestchatbot.com to see some examples of our chatbot’s conversations at the Loebner event.
We now plan to develop the chatbot further, making extensive enhancements to its capabilities and tailoring it to a particular persona that will be launched as a web avatar in late 2011 or early 2012. The enhanced chatbot will be the first such product to be launched by our subsidiary company which is being set up to capitalize on our chatbot’s capabilities.
We are looking for an experienced programmer to join our small team. The software enhancements will all be specified by our in-house linguistics expert who has been responsible for creating the intelligence currently exhibited by the chatbot. For this reason it is not essential for applicants to have any previous experience of chatbot programming.

Summary: White paper on deploying chatbots released by virtual worlds and chatbot solutions provider Daden Limited
The white paper aims to help organisations and businesses understand what chatbots are, how they are being used to win more customers, grow revenues, improve customer satisfaction and reduce cost.
A new white paper on deploying chatbots has been released by virtual worlds and chatbot solutions provider Daden Limited. The white paper aims to help organisations and businesses understand what chatbots are, how they are being used to win more customers, grow revenues, improve customer satisfaction and reduce cost.
Chatbots are known by a wide variety of terms including virtual assistants and virtual agents. Some are quite sophisticated whilst others offer no more than a simple site guide and although the concept of chatbots have been around since the 1950’s it is only in the last five years or so that early adopters, such as Ikea, have been using them. They are however growing in popularity and the E Commerce Times reported in June that “approximately 10% of the Fortune 1,000 already have them”.
Daden have over a decades worth of experience of working with chatbot technology and speech systems. “We have seen an increasing interest in chatbots and chatbot technology over the last three years - so much so we felt the time was right to issue a white paper to help demystify the subject and explain the different types of chatbots.” said Daden’s Managing Director David Burden.
