Is Jabber's Chatbot the Command Line of the Future? by D.J. Adams at O'Reillynet. Example 1 (purl from #perl) is fairly typical, and I'd seen ChatBot in action on jdev, but Example 2, frank--well, he's an outliner bot! That's pretty cool!
As for my experience, just the other day I said to Smarterchild, "weather," rather than go fetch a particular page at wunderground.com.
