The wait is a bit annoying. But I like the answers. Ha ha. Acuman knows Chappie.

Yes, I am aware of that, but it's hard to find a really good answer and research it and compare it with other answers using the internet without taking a while to load! Also, I'm dependent on free APIs.

He also knows simsimi and cleverbot.

Eh, I'm not sure that I am using it right, but it hasn't given me a correct answer yet...

I have asked it complicated things like "What is largest unmanned artificial satellite", and "What is the combined population of Oregon, Washington, British Columbia and Alaska".

I have also asked it simple questions like "Who was the fifth vice-president of the USA". It answered this one "interesting person".

It answers everything as "interesting". The only question it actually answered so far was "What is the population of the USA", which it incorrectly calculated as 32 Million.

Good work though, keep working the bugs out of it.

Thank you for the encouragement, and for pointing out the errors in it. :)

As you probably know, it's still a project in development and it took me a lot of time to even get it where it is.

It's still based more on conversational aspects; talking about the computer itself, but usually when it says "interesting", it knows the answer, it's just some bug that is preventing it.

Very impressive! I like the styling of the page. What languages are you using?

Thank you! I programmed the actual bot using PHP, using various algorithms as shown in its about page.

Regarding the styling, thank you! My favorite aspect of anything is web design.

Did you try "What is the largest unmanned artificial satellite" instead of "what is"? I know it's a glitch, but I'm thinking that it might fix the problem.

I asked "What is the answer to the Universe, Life, and everything?" and it replied "The answer to the universe, life, and everything is 42 (according to Douglas Adams' humorous science-fiction novel The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy)". It seems pretty smart :)
