Passing name with talk-xml?

[Lee Flier]

Hi, I'm using the talk-xml API to interact with my Pandorabot, and I was
wondering how one would pass it the name of the person chatting, so it
can be used in conversation.  As of now, anything that normally includes
the name (such as "I'm glad you liked it, Nancy") just comes back blank.

I tried tacking on "&name=Nancy" to the end of the calling URL but it
doesn't have any effect.  Anyone know how to do this?

Hi Lee, all of the predicates e.g. <get name="name"/>, <set
name="name">Joe</set> are saved on the server-side.  You should only need
to post the customer id custid.

OK... but then how do I save the name on the server side?  People are talking to my bot through an external program which is sending input to the bot via the API... so I'm not sure how to save their names.

I've been entertaining a task for Pandorabots.  I (and a group of partners)
are about to introduce a national membership effort regarding the Social
Security fiasco.  Ours is called ACT, and it is a 35 year solution, phasing
out SS, and immediately eliminating the 25% overpayments, that are turned
back at us in the form of special obligation bonds, or commonly referred to
as IOUs.  IOUs now total over $2.2 Trillion, and are growing at the rate of
approx. $9,000 a second.  Anyway, my thoughts are an intelligent Pandorabot
to interact with web site visitors.   Any thoughs/interest etc.?

Jim G
CEO
ACT

A while back, I included a "social security bot" as one of the top 10
killer apps of AIML:
http://www.alicebot.org/articles/wallace/killers.html

I don't however favor reducing or cutting off anyone's social security
payments.
