The connection to the bot server seems pretty flaky. However I'm pretty impressed by the quality of conversation, there are certainly fragments that appear quite logical.

Anyone know what hardware and software is being used here?

The hardware looks like the Google Home device [1]. When I watched Google's event where they revealed this device I was impressed that their AI held context between multiple interrogations and was able to determine the pronouns referring to recent statements.

Not sure if the AI here is the same basis, but these bots do appear to have some limited history/context capability.

Not sure if purposeful, but when I viewed (about 15:19 GMT), they were reciting One Direction's "What Makes You Beautiful" http://i.imgur.com/NPn1clM.jpg

Earlier, they were reciting the LazyTown "You Are A Pirate" song. https://i.gyazo.com/c2f6bc392e518acf6bbcefdc3f8dfaa4.png

I really wonder what training set they used for these bots. (Speculation is that they are both Cleverbots which would explain a lot)
