You: What is xpdf?
Amy: xpdf is a lightweight pdf viewing program. Hmmm, you don't seem to have it installed. Would you like to install it now?
You: Does it have a lot of dependecies?
Amy: No, it only needs Xlibs which you already have.
You: Okay, bitch, please install xpdf for me.
Amy: You don't have to get agressive! Shall I still install xpdf for you?
You: Sorry Amy. Yes please do install xpdf.
Amy: Downloading xpdf... installing xpdf... done! Shall I run it for you?

THAT"S what I was looking for! Getting the puter to program itself.

Amy just gives me that mess about having an IBM notebook and that it's cute...

If she's able to do spider work too, damn, son, I've got it made...

That's like the Holy Grail of "user friendly".

Me:Amy, can you download Festival and all it's dependencies, configure it and debug it?

Amy: Why, certainly, I just did it, is there anything else I can do for you?

Me:Get me the home phone numbers of Gordon Brown, Barack Obama, George Bush and Osama bin Laden...

Amy:Do you want me to dial them as well?

Hahhaa wow that would be cool. I've tried out the AineBot 8.12 and it's alright. But if it was able to find programs and download them for you, now that's just amazing.

Next question has to be:
Amy: "Can you pass me your wallet amigo? I need to go to the mall...."

Ha Ha. I thought maybe you were thinking about how this sort of interface relates to the many recent threads about touch, voice and head-movement interfaces -as compared to traditional interfaces with a keyboard and maybe a mouse(no one has mentioned Braille interface.

So now, try to think of a language which all interface types could use to accomplish comparable or equivalent actions. Instead of a Desktop, a universal interface which all methods would refer to and be called by.

The ainebot 'brain' provides a nice way of disambiguating input *text* and provides a way of executing programs in response to inputs. I did some work towards integrating ainebot right into julius so speech can be changed to text, then disambiguated by ainebot brain, then performing actions and/or outputting text and/or voice or performing further.

ainebots' disambiguation means that, for instance, saying 'Download package abc' or 'Get me package abc' could mean the same thing. It does recursive processing which can simplify many speech variants into a single directive/response.

Sounds very powerful. It would be great if such a layer of intelligence could be applied to the user interface. If nothing else I thought it may at least be able to be trained to recognise when a user was struggling or getting caught in a repetitive, non productive activity loop.

Maybe under such circumstances it could help to break out of the current 'do-little' loop by offering to start Puppy SIP phone and "phone a friend" or commence a 'remote desktop session' to help sort out the problem. Or even return a voice-detection module to it's original start-up menu in the assumption that the user is 'trapped'. Or maybe step in and run a 'microphone level adjustment protocol' in the assumption the user does not know how to get the hardware setup correctly for the voice-detection to be successful.

Obviously functional AI is not easy to accomplish, but I just want this on my watchlist for future accessibility options.

so puppy Linux as its own bots and bot masters! I recently posted this!

Linux Action Bot, will be a chat bot who's out put will be in a language called bash. (a shell script.) A language with few words and strong rules about how those word go together. And the power, when used I a terminal, to control the computer.

is there any chance it ill work?
