Released on March 20, 2013 (system requirements)
With this version, you can design and debug your own algorithms. It provides full access to the underlying neural network in the form of visual editors. The installer also includes demo projects, a set of topics and the online + android applications, which can be installed from within the designer. Alternatively, get it from Sourceforge.

This is the entry version. It simplifies things by removing all references to the neural network, allowing you to focus on your chatbot itself. It also includes the online and android versions, which can be installed from within the application.
An sql based wordnet database is included as a separate download. It is not required to run the application (the data can be imported in the form of a thesaurus), but can be used as a resource, for browsing the contents in a different way. To install, extract the contents of the zip file to the directory that contains the chatbot designer application.
Android

This is a mobile personal-assistant/chatbot for android systems. It primarily focuses phones, but should also run on tablets. Note: this is still an older, beta version which had some issues left. An update will be released in the coming months.
Alternatively, you can get it from google play.

Although the web version is included in the windows application, you can also get it separately, as a zip file which contains the entire website. Simply unzip it, update the ‘web.config’ file so that it contains the correct settings, include a network project with it and upload to your website. Make certain that it supports .net 4 and MVC 3.
DifImage is a small tool that I used to automatically cut the characters images down to a minimum size. It’s a simple tool, but a useful automation for people interested in building their own characters.

- MySQL scripts: sql scripts to build the database (including data). Every file builds 1 table and its data.
- MS-SQL scripts: sql scripts to build the database (including data). First run the ‘tables.sql’ file to create the tables. Other sql files contain the data (could be that some have to be split up before they will run properly).
- MS-SQL mdf file: an mdf database file.
