A chatterbot (also chatbot, chatterbox) is a bot program which attempts to maintain a conversation with a person. While it is true that a good understanding of a conversation is required to carry on a meaningful dialog, most chatterbots do not attempt this. Instead they attempt to pick up cue words or phrases from the person which will allow them to use pre-prepared or pre-calculated responses which can move the conversation on in an apparently meaningful way without requiring them to know what they are talking about. An exception to this approach is Jabberwacky which attempts to model the way humans learn new facts and language.

One of the more exciting new technologies coming out of IBM/Lotus these days is Sametime bots. These are programs that take advantage of Sametime's awareness and real-time collaboration features to provide an interactive, text-based interface to a back-end data source such as a database or Web page. Bots perform specific tasks such as locating information you request, reminding you when an event is approaching, and finding mutually available meeting times in users' calendars. You can design bots that you chat with online and ask questions as though they were real live people!
This article is the first of two discussing Sametime bots. In this article, we introduce what Sametime bots are and how they work. We then describe the basic process of creating a Sametime bot, using available Sametime toolkits. We conclude by examining in detail a simple bot that you can modify to create your own bot. (You can download the code for this bot from the Sandbox.)

SMB can broker messages from your applications to your user community. It can take an instant message from any application in your enterprise and ensure that it is delivered to the intended recipient. Think of a business process where time is of the essence. Where users need to know when something is available immediately.
SMB leverages WebSphere MQ Series, reading XML messages from an MQ Queue and delivering them in the form of an instant message to the intended recipient. SMB can wait for a response from the user and then turn around and respond to the application.
