I have something that might work. I have a pretty decent IM program, and I also found and built an AI chat-bot based on a popular AI system. The chat bot is not currently hooked to the IM client, but I could get it working pretty quickly. (it's based on a C# implementation of ALICE.)
The real question is how sophisticated you want the bot. Will this be something simple, like the parrot, or do you want it to recognize a few phrases and respond to them? I could probably can some responses based on keywords, and then pass the rest of the chat on to ALICE. I'd do some sort of threading, to seperate the conversations.
Also, do you want this to be set up as a visible avatar that people interact with like a live person? We're on the edge of getting code working that will allow an avatar to move, and I'm not totally sure what the state of clothing and avatar appearance is, but I imagine that we can work that out fairly quickly.
I have some time on my hands; if you want to talk more, I can set up a prototype that you could check out.
And cost? You'll probably get half the people on this mailing list knocking down your door to give you a program for free. ;-)

Hey all,
We are working on a new Orientation Island experience right now, and
have a project that I imagine one of you could help us with. Basically,
we want to make a Instant Message tutorial, where a new Resident will IM
a "bot" account, and get an answer. This account needs to be logged in
constantly, and fully automated, and able to parse and reply to incoming
messages. In other words, a perfect application for a libsl project.
Interested? This is a near term project that would require developing a
light-weight client that we could run on a spare machine, and
maintaining that client for the near future. Shoot me an email with any
questions, or if you are up for it - an idea of what it would cost us.
