Convo is an experimental conversational system, a computer program that you can chat with. We're currently in the process of teaching our character Ditto the donkey to understand the basics of English.
Help wanted! Take part in our experiments. Please talk to Ditto the donkey!

Other names for a conversational system include chat robot, chatterbot, chatbot, and even artificial intelligence (AI).
Convo is a non-commercial project, and its findings will be published openly in our technical pages.
If you'd like to know more about what we're trying to achieve and how we plan to go about doing it, please see our about us section, which also has contact details and a timeline of the project.
