I'll have to have a look into those, there's an audience of about 12 people that would be thrilled to hear "eggbot" is back with a shiny modern brain on, haha.

Oddly enough any processing delay is good in an "AI" chat bot, within reason, makes it feel more natural rather than getting a response ping instantly. Chat version of uncanny valley or something, haha.

Something it also did in Markov form was pick randomly from the longest words in the sentence it had decided to reply to, build the rest of it from that, then run itself "backwards" from the picked word to a sentence starter word it knew.

Thank you for the reply! Looking forward to some tinkering.
