Hello. I am new here (as irrelevant as that sounds – I want to ask for patience on mistakes and ignorance).

​

I am wanting to make a chatbot for my work, and was curious how I would go about doing this. I am a programmer, proficient in PHP/SQL/Javascript. I make websites for businesses for their work orders, invoices, etc. I have over 50 clients now. So here was my idea:

• Create a chat bot that I can interact with and get information about each client.
• I was hoping that the chatbot could pull GIT repository, so they always have an up to date version of my codes. Each client has their own repository, so the chat bot should easily distinguish which code goes to which client.
• I was hoping that the chat bot could know the the code that it interprets, and know the functionality that happens within that code. (I am thinking of similar to GIT CoPilot, if you’ve ever used that – it can “predict” code for you based on information you as it. For example put a comment in saying “loop through `x` and change it to `y`” kinda thing, terrible example, but it would suggest code. It’s not always correct, but that’s okay, I am able to go behind it and check it/make adjustments.
• Our clients are currently on 3 different framework versions (the frameworks have been made from scratch that we have built, so the bot would not take from something like Laravel, it would get to know OUR frameworks.
• I would then want to be able to ask things like: “[this company] wants to change their payment processor from Clover to Stripe. Have I done this anywhere else?”
  • And the chat bot could possibly return with “Yes, you did this on another v1 framework, [this company]. Here’s how you would do it: [and then list steps with code examples].”
  • If the chatbot runs into a “no you haven’t done this on another client” then it can get general programming knowledge or API information and explain sample codes from Stripe.
• Or perhaps I could say “does [this client] have [this feature]”
• Or I could say “The client wants to change the name of their status of work orders from “complete” to “job complete”, what files will this affect” – And the chat bot could return with information on where we are checking for “complete” statuses.

These are just rough examples. Because we have so many now, it is getting a little more difficult to keep track of everything that each one has. So we often have to go and hunt them down. And sometimes, we have clients who do not need things sometimes even for a year. A year later they ask for something, and we have to go remind ourselves of how their system works. All systems are 100% custom to the company that we build it for, there are no two the exact same.

​

It would be really awesome if we could start a conversation with the chat bot saying something like “I’m going to implement this change on this client, can you walk me through it”. And the chat bot possibly create steps (I have seen other chat bots do this as well), and we can do things like “well I have this, but I’m getting this error”, and the chat bot will say “okay, try this” or “oh, it looks like you have a typo – change [that] to [this]”.

​

I know this is a lot to take in. But does anyone know how I would even get started on this? I am very new to chatbots, while I’ve played with them, I’m getting very lost on their development. Please remember that my expertise is in PHP, and I’m fully aware that something like this will not be easy, or quick. But is there someone out there who can give me some knowledge to at least get me started? I do not intend to make this for monetary gain, only for personal business use.

A new year is coming, we all know that AI gonna be even more developed in the next year, both good and bad. So what you do want to see with AI the next year?

Are there any decent AIs out there that take their time/play hard to get, and don’t just get into “I want to — you” within the first 5-10 interactions!?

Alternatively, are there any AIs where you can start off by setting up scenarios?

Have a new employment contract that is a pdf of 100 pages. It is written extremely grey and open to interpretation, looking for the best ai bot that can help break down and explain the correct understanding of each clause when questioned

Is there anything like this out at the moment ?

I was using a chatbot to write a fun, long time fantasy thing that was helping me generate ideas for my own writing. It was fun, but gets ruined once the ai starts forgetting things. The whole point of good writing is to have a wide history to draw from, obviously.

So my question is, whats the best way to get the longest memory out of ai? I want it to remember things i said hundreds of messages ago, even if i have to pay for storage or something.

(Ive seen suggestions like ask the ai to summarize whats happened periodically, but i feel that loses subtle character development nuance. Eg. I dont want a sassy character to just go back to being sassy and cold after theres been a precedent of gradually moving past that.)

Any tips appreciated! Maybe i just need to wait a year or two for this to be possible.

2023 has been a crazy year for AI, I think it is one of a first year when AI becomes so mainstream, we know AI chatbots, images generators, AI filters,… So what is in store in 2024?

Specifically, the memory. For example, I was doing a My Hero Academia Roleplay in which Izuku Midoriya, the main character, is replaced by one of my own characters. and of course, this very character is nicknamed Deku by Bakugo and Uraraka. but the AI never remembers this context and every time the name is brought up it mistakes it for Izuku and it’s extremely frustrating every time he’s brought into question because he’s “not supposed to exist in this AU”.

The problem is that the AI isn’t designed for long-term stories where you need to remember a lot of stuff, it’s designed for short-term, small, intricate little conversations, unfortunately.

So, I bring back the question: Where are these story chatbots? if any, I need to know! for fun, of course. And if not, what’s the best solution?

The purpose of this survey is to investigate the effect of perceived value, affective attitude and cognitive attitude between chatbot competence and purchase intention. Your responses will be anonymous and will never be linked to your personal identification. Thank you for your cooperation and effort.
