Hi, LiveCode seems like a great too for the creation of a Chat Bot, or multiple chat bots. Is anyone doing (or done) an open source / community chat bot with LiveCode? Just read two interesting articles. Pointers below: #1 I turned my mobile app into a chatbot. Here’s why. https://medium.freec

I am very interested in AI bots. It would be really cool to use LiveCode to interface with the Google Home, or Amazon Echo API. Through kickstarter, I have supported the DashBot in hopes that it's core OS can run apps made with LiveCode. I don't have it yet, but I am hoping it has Android inside

Read the post I was responding to. Richmond seemed to be making the point that the GUI of Livecode presented an illusion to the end user that they were working with a "real" app. As I said, I may have misconstrued his meaning, but that was what it seemed like he was saying. Bob S > On Mar 1,
