Billy

About this game

Billy is an attempt at an artificial intelligence type conversation bot, similar to Eliza, Dr Spoc, or the infamous Dr Sbaitso. You type in sentences, and Billy attempts to respond in some appropriate way. In addition to this, the program offers numerous ways to "customize" the AI, including a "teach" program to attempt to teach the AI new things by feeding it text files.
