Take a look at the various Google Bots bots provided by askme.im

You can get bots for live cricket scores (instacricket@askme.im), daily horoscopes (astro@askme.im), foreign currency converter (fx@askme.im). Just add these to your Gmail Chat or Gtalk.

Try out cleartrip.trains@gmail.com for train searches. It is, however, not an AI bot and does have very limited query understanding features

Hi Sangfriod…….As name and the status of bot(Travel Domain Demo) might suggest that is a DEMO bot for demo purposes , but some of the user might get confused and may believe the data is from live feed rather a dummy data for Demo , Thanks for pointing this out . We have added note on bot status message and welcome message so that users are not confused (Pl Note This is a demo program for the purpose of testing our algorithm, results are NOT based from live feed,but from dummy data ). we are not competing with make my trip and are not content aggregators we are a AI / NLP platform / middle ware which can applied to any domain like health , e-com, education , travel, finance etc etc
Cheers,Gp

hmm … where does accuracy feature in this offering? I guess it has been ignored altogether. Please see below:-

Sangfroid: bangalore delhi 01/04/2008 1 adult
alabot.travel: Please wait a moment while I do a search …. ….
For the 01 of 04 from bangalore to delhi I suggest the following – Jet Airways Rs 7800 ( Departure 7am , Arrival 10 am ), Sahara Rs 7800 ( Departure 9pm to Arrival 10:30 am )
Thanks for talking to me , we appreciate your business

And here is what, makemytrip has to tell:-

Review Flight Details
Airline    FareType    Departure    Arrival    Stops    Duration
Jet Lite           Bangalore    New Delhi
               Tue, 01 Apr   Tue, 01 Apr   NonStop   2h 40m
               7:30 AM       10:10 AM

Review Fare Details
Traveler Type    Quantity    Base Fare    Taxes & Fees    Total (including taxes)
Adult       1             Rs. 975(1X975)    Rs. 2051    Rs. 3026


Total:   Rs. 3026
Grand Total Rs. 3,026

why would I want to even talk to this bot again ? Apart from when I have seriously nothing worthwhile to do … i mean the asking of questions like — “what is India”, “who is ”, “go F@#%…”

Thanks Ashish for your post – much appreciated , just a quick foot note – the demo is only for the travel domain just now - there are some user cases on our blog (http://blog.alabot.com/test-me-on-gtalk/)

Mahesh thank you too for your positive feedback and your ideas – i totally agree with you on the usability and scope of Ala – infact we would be happy to share our platform with content providers / universities / health care givers etc to embed this technology and Talk Enable their data in all verticals (not just travel!!!)

cheers

This is insanely great IDEA. I liked it very much.

Ubona+Alabot is deadly combination.

I think if Alabot is generalized beyond just travell, like the way we ask others for suggestion/advise about our concern, it will be a great tool.

Generalized sectors: Health, Finance, Education, Food/Grocery ordering, Books and others.

Now health is lucrative sector, build DB of high-quality Health information for answering will be a use full for all. As we encounter frequent health disorder and waste 100′s of money for Doctors just for consultant, in this place if alabot did the job of doctors, it will be our virtual FREE doctor.

Alabot IDEA has lot of potential to explore to show its full strength. Its should also study the behavior of each individual who is chating with it, so that next time if i ask question it shd capture what i am looking for immediately.

Good luck guys, Great Product.
