AI Software Online

Here I'm trying to collect software that you can run from your browser, and not merely read about, download, or buy —with an exception here and there. But so far I only have the following programs, most of which are toys. There must be more sophisticated specimens out there. Help me find them.



• Albert One. Winner of the 1998 Loebner competition. From FringeWare. Site contains information and transcripts, but not an interactive web version of Albert. However, you can download Albert for free and interact to your heart's content.
