Andy which kind of agents would you like to build?
I was playing with Actalk (I should resurrect it in Pharo 40.

Hi Stef,

In very simple terms I want to build a system that would look at what you are typing in a text box, and have various agents that analyse the text and modify/augment it.

Simple Examples:
  1. If I enter a web address it could look it up on Delicious.com and extract links that had been similarly tagged.
  2. If I enter something that looks like a name, it would search google scholar, or mendeley and include links to any documents
  3. If I entered "call david tomorrow" it would be able to add something to my things to do list.
My - very early - thoughts are that I need to continually parse the text, as I type, and various agents would look for the things they are interested in.� The question is how best to model this, and process the data.

Cheers
Andy
