Cleverbot Developed by Rollo Carpenter
Rollo Carpenter, a British AI developer, launched Cleverbot as a publicly accessible web application in 1997, extending his earlier Jabberwacky project. Cleverbot learned conversational responses directly from accumulated human inputs rather than from a hand-coded rule base, and went on to accumulate hundreds of millions of logged exchanges.
