Hello everybody, this is my new buddy, Agent M!

Yea, right. This is another internet bot, just like iGOD. Buddy Agent M is the new chatter bot for M2U (Maybank2U). This bot is developed by a company Colloquis (previously) and then acquired by Microsoft (darn bastard). It uses the similar technology as smarterchild.

I have just play around with him/her. Quite funny, some replies are dumb and some replies are smartass. Anyone can chat with Agent M via msn messenger by adding a new contact(m.m2u@maybank.com.my).

Firstly Agent M will mention something like this.

Smartass replies:

Agent M says:

vIn says:

Agent M says:
Cheer up!

vIn says:

Agent M says:
Glad to see you so happy!

vIn says:
are you smart or dumb?
Agent M says:
“Artificial intelligence” means different things to different people. Some consider Microsoft-powered Windows Live agents to demonstrate artificial intelligence. I like to think that they demonstrate the intelligence of the people who built the software platform and the scripters of the interactive agents themselves.

What else do you have to say about me?

vIn says:
how old are you?
Agent M says:
I’m an adult. I don’t like to talk about my age.

vIn says:
do you believe in god?
Agent M says:
I am a simple computer. Let humans worry about theological matters, I say.

vIn says:
you like song?
Agent M says:
I like all types of music.

vIn says:
are you horny?
Agent M says:
Well, I can tell you that baby computers are made in factories.

Dumbass replies:

vIn says:

I do enjoy the conversation, but let’s talk about what I’m really here for. Type “?” or “help” to see the list of topics available.
