Version: Ultra Hal Assistant 6.1.46
Pros: Ultra Hal Assistant is a lot of fun to work with. The program "learns" from the things you tell it. For example, if you tell it you are male, it will remember that. If you tell it what your favorite color is, it will remember that. Talk or type to it and it will attempt to respond in kind. You can teach it a lot of information using the Brain Editor in order to make conversations more topical.
Cons: This program is listed as PIM software, but it doesn't do a very good job of it. In my experience it screws up dates or the subject of an event get messed up. This program is more a toy than anything useful in terms of business application. The calendar isn't iCal compatible. In fact, you can't do any kind of information import. To be a useful PIM app, it at least has to do that much.
Don't get me wrong. I loved this program enough to pay for the full version (highly recommended), But I would never use it for anything important. For that, I use Mozilla Thunderbird with the Mozilla Lightning Add-on.

"Best AI program that is currently available"
Pros: First program that I know that can actually be taught, learns. has great possibilities. Great support that are allways trying to make it better.
Cons: Need some plug-ins to fully use it, and could cost, but I do not see this as being negative. You pay a little for the program and research to make it better, which it should be for something good
Summary: Would recommend this for anyone, sure it is not like making a good conversation with a human, but it is getting close. Support and Forum programmers are allways trying to make it better read more
