Fluent.BotService is a windows service for managing Bots on AOL's Instant Messenger (AIM) service. Included is Fluent.BotFramework, a programming framework that makes it quick and easy to build bots.

Fluent.BotService Features

Maintains connections to AIM service.
Bots are easily deployed under file system similar to ASP.NET.
Includes a winforms based BotRunner, for running bots during development.

Fluent.BotFramework Features

Session Management.
Simplified framework for handling events.
Utility functions to process messages.

Example Bot

public class EchoBot : BotBase {

    public override void OnIncomingMessage(
        string from, string message, bool autoResponse) {

        if((string)Session["lastStatement"] == message){
            SendMessage(from,"You just said that!");
        } else {
            SendMessage(from,"I agree {0}, {1}", from, message);
            Session["lastStatement"] = message;
        }

    }

}

This bot is compiled and placed in the bot root 'botroot\EchoBot\bin\EchoBot.dll'. A configuration file is then created for the bot in 'botroot\EchoBot\bot.xml'.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<bot type="Fluent.SampleBots.EchoBot, Fluent.SampleBots" 
  screenName="mybotname" password="mypassword" />
