Don't know if this is even a valid topic but I was wondering if there has been an artificial intelligence application for Mac OS X? I guess what I'm looking for is probably an AI app that I can teach things to. Wether via text chat or via voice over the microphone. I want something that I can teach things to. Like, when I say "please open this" or "please open that" it will do just so. Or I can command it to delete stuff, etc. In other words, it will become my personal assistant.

I believe there are programs for Windows already regarding this but I find them quite subpar and plus, I'm mostly on a the OS X side of my Mac and not on Bootcamp.

It sounds like you just want a macro system, or voice command system, neither of which are "AI"? – techie007 Nov 6 '11 at 5:56
I wanted to start with a macro system with voice command but it would be better if I can talk to it almost like a regular person. – Registered User Nov 6 '11 at 15:51

I guess Siri will be best solution for Mac OS X. I don't know if Apple brings it to desktop and when.

At other hand you can take a look at Google Voice clients like this, this, this and this. It's not fully AI but and I don't know how it fits your tasks, but it can be a start.

But the 4 links you gave are all Google Voice clients for sending SMS and for calling. I'm not sure how those relate to an artificial intelligence? If I missed your point, please correct me. – Registered User Nov 6 '11 at 4:39
You can choose between Apple and Google API to recognize voice. I'm sorry, but there no complete solution you want or it isn't free and/or public. But these links are examples and start point where to look at least. – Eir Nym Nov 7 '11 at 2:32

VoiceOver is probably the closest, you can speak commands (some of which you can specify) and it will control the system.

So there's no 3rd party application that can handle it fully? – Registered User Nov 6 '11 at 10:00
