AI bot for C#

Having read the book Robot Proof recently by Joseph E. Aoun that looks into the implications for Higher Education in the age of Artificial Intelligence, I decided to break with my tradition of posting prep notes for the coming academic year on our vle and create a conversational agent using the Pandorabot platform. My students can access the bot either from the web and below you can see a screen shot of the page.

Or meet-up with the agent, Tether Gistnut in SecondLife, by the way the name is an acronym if anyone would like to have a go a cracking it. The image below shows my landing point in SecondLife with the teleport board just to the right.

Just touch on the board and you will be transported to Tethers space station on the planet Mars, you may like to try and have a conversation about that.

Once you are there, get close enough and Tether will home in for a chat. One of the great advantages of the virtual world here is that you will a 3D persona of the bot and you can be with others in the conversation. You will also find that Tether is able to offer short video tutorials for C# that display on the media screen. This is proving to be a fun and popular implementation, so do feel free to teleport over and give the facility a try. If you have any questions then please IM me Skipper Abel in SecondLife. Bye for now and enjoy.
