This sounds neat, I wonder if busymess checked out the new chatbot before putting this on the wire. --------------------- PortalZone.com to Form a Strategic Alliance With Artificial Intelligence Chatbot Firm Business Editors and High Tech Writers LAS VEGAS--April 14, 2000--PortalZone.com, Inc., (NON-OTC:PZNC) an internet company and future internet search engine portal web site with a new proprietary internet search engine algorithm announced today they have entered into the negotiation stage to form a strategic alliance with a prominent artificial intelligence chat robot (chatbot) technology firm. The cutting-edge chatbots will recreate the personality of any chosen subject, be it a celebrity, a politician, a customer support representative, a company salesman, or even a company itself using a subject's own words or biographical information. Users will be able to interact with the chatbot to retrieve the information they need quickly and easily. In addition to the entertainment value of the chatbot (get to know your favorite celebrity), the chatbot also has the ability to enhance B2B web sites by delivering hundreds of pages of company information via the most popular form of communication on the Web -- chat. Additionally, the chatbot remains a patient and polite customer service representative "with all the answers." Users find that they're able to ask the chatbot questions and receive answers immediately via a more "human" interface instead of having to search multiple web pages for the needed information. The main goals of this new technology are: 1) to reduce website design cost and complexity; 2) to make the web a more fun and ergonomic place to communicate and do business; and 3) to provide a more effective interface for the dissemination of news and information. The stage-I beta testing period of the Company's proprietary internet search engine continues as well as the development of the new software programming contract that will provide new state of the art technology to TV and internet viewers. PORTALZONE.COM is an internet portal company whose main source of business includes a proprietary search engine designed primarily for the web but which will also extend to hand held devices like cell phones, palm pilots and personal organizers. Other revenue sources for the Company include software development contracts, website advertising, software licensing fees, private labeling of the search engine algorithm, and merchandise partnerships to resell hot products through the portal.
