Hey there 👋 * * * #Introduction **I’ve created for Telegram a bot that allows you to talk with him like a human:** ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/0/0ba27a705b6adf55a42f08e3594378173e6dd3db.png) Well, it’s a bit _silly_, but it uses one of the bests public bots: [CleverBot](http://cleverbot.com) So, I thought that it could be a great option to create an app for CleverBot using AppInventor, because it sould be very simple: just a WebComponent, an Input and a Label and you have somebody to talk if you are bored! * * * #How to build an app To build an app, just need a TextBox to work like an Input, a Button to submit the Input, a Label to set the Output and a WebComponent to make the interaction: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/3/3bab93450bd73d67a6f31ecb7201597698b10676.png) In the blocks, part, it’s quite simple: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/4/4a28ad996b4b7d91868f857b32e7301ec615b0e1.png) Setup your key requesting one here: [Cleverbot API – The official Cleverbot API](https://www.cleverbot.com/api/#abovetitle) The app will function like this: when the user submits the input, it will send to my server in [https://scripts.thunkable.ga](https://scripts.thunkable.ga), and the script `cleverbot/index.php` will interacti with CleverBot API sending a quite simple answer that can be holded by GetResponseText * * * #Resources: - Compiled APK: [CleverBot.apk](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/e/e4aa862f7c653e26003c67f17313d90224146d75.apk) (2.2 MB) - Source Code (AIA): [CleverBot.aia](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/5/59ad62bdb9eaf5fcdf4bb9149e39878879922bf0.aia) (2.1 KB) - Source Code (PHP): [https://gist.github.com/barreeeiroo/e890479d35f4021410831595e5b3fd69](https://gist.github.com/barreeeiroo/e890479d35f4021410831595e5b3fd69) - Source Code (Telegram Bot Plugin): [https://github.com/barreeeiroo/GroupButler/blob/master/plugins/talk.lua](https://github.com/barreeeiroo/GroupButler/blob/master/plugins/talk.lua) * * * * * * #Alternative An alternative to CleverBot is [SimSimi](http://developer.simsimi.com), which (for me) is much better than CleverBot, but it’s a paid service Some time ago, it was a free service (as you can see in this commit: [GitHub](https://github.com/dot-apps/M4STER_Bot/commit/ad80e9ffdc02642dbd30f1594110527229f2b923)). I’ve worked with it for a Telegram Bot months ago, but when they became a paid service, I stopped to use them So, if anyone wants to pay for SimSimi, ask me and I will send them an .AIA where they can use SimSimi API 😊 ---

Great job, I like the idea of having something to talk to when you are bored. 😌 ---

It seems like I’ve made an error while trying to submit the input in the app, because my responseContent is always `No Input` 😞 I will fix it tomorrow * * * EDT: Fixed. It was a problem while uploading the input, that it doesn’t recognize the spaces: ![](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex015/uploads/thunkable/original/2X/2/2bca0d1ea2536d431e7c5990dc65645eb496a248.png) It has been fixed adding a `replace.text` block ---
