Knowledge — Browse your bot’s knowledge database.
Scripts — Add, create, edit, import, and export Self or AIML scripting programs.
Log — View the bot’s log for errors and debugging info.
This software complex consists of 4 modules enabling to create an embedded robot-companion (ChatBot) for OS Windows 7/ 8/10.
The key feature of the Endurance solution is as follows: besides the standard environments, such as: Web, Slack, Telegram, Twitter, Facebook, you can also use the embedded version of ChatBot offline.
In addition, the embedded solution of Endurance includes a built-in face recognition module, that is, a ChatBot sees who he talks with and is able to identify the interlocutor by face.
First and foremost this solution may be used for training by those who dream to create one’s own real robot-companion, including university and high school students.
Creating one’s own ChatBot, you acquire knowledge and practice in developing embedded solutions for Windows 7 / 8 / 10, and work experience with:
Any enthusiast can create one’s own ChatBot for Web, Telegram, Facebook, Slack, Twitter, Gmail, etc.
One can use a robot-companion for scientific and practical purposes.

The project is entirely open source. We invite to join the project university developers’ teams, individual developers and enthusiasts.
The project opens great opportunities in learning the technology of ChatBot creation and acquiring work experience in this technology.
The project tasks at hand:
Develop an application for iOS.
Create a robot-reception (visitors registration). http://www.slideshare.net/GeorgeFomitchev/selfiebot-application-for-retail-shops-or-stores http://www.slideshare.net/GeorgeFomitchev/selfiebot-receptionist
Create a more user-friendly interface (UX/UI).
Create machine learning. Ensure conversion of unstructured texts into structured ones suitable for ChatBots.
How the robot-companion works
The robot-companion hears the speech addressed to it and gives answers based on the programmed variants of answers. In case of their lack it uses third-party search tools, Google, for instance. When the answer is found, the robot gives it to its companion.
The system of ChatBot learning is very simple:
1. ChatBot creation on Botlibre.
2. ChatBot learning.
3. One’s Google key registration to use «Ok Google» speech recognition.
4. Make necessary changes in the *.cfg. file
5. Program start.
