METHOD FOR PERSONALIZING CHAT BOTS

A system and method for automatically building chat bot content from scripts of conversations. A script is parsed into query-response pairs, so that a computerized device may be programmed to give the same responses when given similar queries. Each query is converted into canonical form and then matched against patterns, as in prior art chat bots. The response is then linked to the matched pattern. A new chat bot is constructed out of the canonical form conversions and the set of pattern-response links. The chat bot is further improved by adding interactive human conversations, provided that those conversations are rated highly. The resulting chat bot can run on a computer server that responds to public queries, and the server can also display context-sensitive advertisements.
