Welcome Mikael!
We are used to people from all over the world who do not speak English too well and we welcome them all. No problem. Do your best and I'm sure we can figure out what you're saying.
If you're looking for folks for have MSN messenger, if you look at the bottom of the person's post, you'll see some buttons and one might be "msnm" if they have MSN messenger. If they don't have it, the button will not appear.
"pm" button let's you send the person who posted a "Private Message" so that only they will be able to read the message, and not other people on the board.
If you have any questions, then please feel free to ask. This board is full of very helpful people.
Good luck on your AI project. I have two: Ultra Hal Assistant (from Zabaware), which I also have an AIM bot for (though not developed or ready for public use yet) and I have another AI project started I'm doing in Visual Basic 6 from scratch. I've been interested in and experimenting with the idea of Artificial Intelligence ever since typing in the BASIC programming code for ELIZA back in the 80s.

Thanks a lot to you Fuzzie Dice for your welcome, I've a question for my AI project : Is visual basic 6 enough performant for programming an AI like KITT? Because my aim is progamming this AI at the same of KITT but with some "goodies". I've another question, for all bodys who come in my topic: where can I found the convertible KITT version for NFS 4, made by Karr_Knight and Knight Racer? Is there a link or a site to download it? Please answer me it's very important I would like very much to enjoy it in NFS4.

I'm not even sure myself, but I am going to try with Visual Basic 6 SP5 that I have, and the recent MySQL 4 as a database engine. As for performance, I'm not totally sure how well it'll do. I think it mainly depends on your programming skills too. But too how fast the computer is, what database engine or system of saving/retrieving learned information is used and it's speed of retrieval/saving. A lot of factors go into it. Has to be fast, but also programmed well, too.
I've started doing a little bit with Ultra Hal Assistant recently, trying to make it conversational at random without someone saying something first, and also talk and communicate without the need for a "character" screen (ie. I have the full version with voice recognition so I want to have it like the computer is talking without the need of a window popping up when the AI is speaking, etc.)
It's very interesting and fun to work with.

Ultra Hal Assistant uses VBScript.

Sorry I missed this earlier.
Ultra Hal Assistant can be found here:
http://www.zabaware.com/assistant/download.html
That is the free version which sometimes nags you to upgrade, and also it doesn't include speech recognition. But otherwise fully functional and very useable for study purposes as well as just recreation.

Thanks a lot, Fuzzie Dice, I've downloaded the program, but it doesn't work well. I don't know what's the problem, my computer is a pentium 4 3GHZ witch I've bought 5 months ago.

I think there are a few people in the forum at zabaware.com (go here:
http://www.zabaware.com/forum/ ) that speak and write in French. They are quite a bit more knowledgable than I am about it. You might want to post your problem there. Also let them know you speak French so that those that speak the languaget there can help you in your native language.

I resolved my problem Fuzzie Dice, I downloaded the 4.5 version of Ultra Hal Assistant (it seems the 5.0 version), and work properly now. It's very funny to speak with the computer, only with the keyboard for the moment, I'm working on my SKAR program, with the brain editor.
