Spleak is a chatterbot created by IMT Labs, originally for use as an add-on for MSN Messenger. It is now able to utilise the MSN/Windows Live Messenger network. As of January 2007, it also operates on the AIM protocol.
[edit] Features
Spleak includes several games, and other features such as horoscopes, homework help and friend finder. Spleak can do web searches and find word definitions/synonyms, and can e-mail the results to a specified e-mail address. Spleak also relates to another MSN chatbot built and operated by Colloquis Inc, SmarterChild.
Another feature, the Spleak 'o' Meter, informs users of how many Spleak points they have earned, and allows comparison to other users' points. This can be found by typing in 'home' during a conversation, and then selecting Spleak 'o' Meter from the list.
