Whois & Analysis for cleverbot.com

Cleverbot is a chatterbot web application that uses an artificial intelligence (AI) algorithm to have conversations with humans.

It was created by British AI scientist Rollo Carpenter.

It was preceded by Jabberwacky, a chatbot project that began in 1988 and went online in 1997.

In its first decade, Cleverbot held several thousand conversations with Carpenter and his associates.

Since launching on the web, the number of conversations held has exceeded 200 million.

Besides the web application, Cleverbot is also available as an iOS, Android, and Windows Phone app.

Intelligence has been defined in many different ways including as one's capacity for logic, understanding, self-awareness, learning, emotional knowledge, planning, creativity and problem solving.

It can be more generally described as the ability to perceive information, and to retain it as knowledge to be applied towards adaptive behaviors within an environment or context.

Conversation is a form of interactive, spontaneous communication between two or more people.

Typically, it occurs in spoken communication, as written exchanges are usually not referred to as conversations.

A chatbot (also known as a talkbot, chatterbot, Bot, chatterbox, Artificial Conversational Entity) is a computer program which conducts a conversation via auditory or textual methods.

Such programs are often designed to convincingly simulate how a human would behave as a conversational partner, thereby passing the Turing test.

Chatterbots are typically used in dialog systems for various practical purposes including customer service or information acquisition.

Some chatterbots use sophisticated natural language processing systems, but many simpler systems scan for keywords within the input, then pull a reply with the most matching keywords, or the most similar wording pattern, from a database.

In semiotics, linguistics, sociology and anthropology, context refers to those objects or entities which surround a focal event, in these disciplines typically a communicative event, of some kind.

Context is "a frame that surrounds the event and provides resources for its appropriate interpretation." It is thus a relativistic concept, only definable with respect to some focal event, not independently.
