Infobot

  • Keeps track of factoids and returns them on request
  • To set factoids, just tell me something in the form 'apple is a company' or 'apples are fruit'
  • To find out about something, say 'apple?' or 'what are apples'
  • To correct me, you can use any of: 'no, apple is a fruit', 'apple =~ s/company/fruit/', or 'apple is also a fruit'
  • To make me forget a factoid, 'forget apple'
  • You can use '|' to separate several alternative answers

who

  • If a definition contains $who, then it will be replaced by the name of the person who asked the question

reply

  • If a definition starts with <reply> then when responding the initial prefix will be skipped
  • eg. 'apples are <reply>mm, apples' will mean that 'what are apples' will get the response 'mm, apples'

action

  • If a definition starts with <action> then when responding the definition will be used as an action
  • eg. 'apples are <action>eats one' will mean that 'what are apples' will get the response '* bot eats one'

alias

  • If a definition starts with <alias> then it will be treated as a symlink to whatever follows
  • eg. 'crab apples are <alias>apples' and 'apples are fruit' will mean that 'what are crab apples' will get the response 'apples are fruit'

tell

  • Make me tell someone something. eg. 'tell pikachu what apples are' or 'tell fred about me'

literal

  • To find out exactly what is stored for an entry apples, you would say to me: literal apples

remember

  • If you are having trouble making me remember something (for example 'well, foo is bar' getting treated as 'foo' is 'bar'), then you can prefix your statement with 'remember:' (following the 'no,' if you are changing an entry)
  • eg. 'remember: well, foo is bar'
  • Note that 'well, foo?' is treated as 'what is foo' not is 'what is well, foo', so this is not always useful
