Introducing @helpbot : Get Answers to Questions Quickly : Phase 1 - Data Collection

in #helpbot7 years ago (edited)

by mentioning it within any comment) and asking it a question, it will respond with its best known answer or direct you in the right direction via links to other Steemit posts. It will respond based off keywords and learned AI on previous (approved upon) answers via regular uses during the beginning stages. Those beginning stages I speak of are right now! So for now lets focus on data collection...
And yes, I did say WE 😉By simply calling on @helpbot (

<p dir="auto"><img src="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcSE9xhFJUaX65tfseHkheyucgggSE7MSPrsGc5Ac7H7M/889438_fd0d_31.jpg" alt="889438_fd0d_31.jpg" srcset="https://images.hive.blog/768x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcSE9xhFJUaX65tfseHkheyucgggSE7MSPrsGc5Ac7H7M/889438_fd0d_31.jpg 1x, https://images.hive.blog/1536x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmcSE9xhFJUaX65tfseHkheyucgggSE7MSPrsGc5Ac7H7M/889438_fd0d_31.jpg 2x" /> <h1>Phase 1 - Data Collection <p dir="auto">The data collection stage for a base of which the A.I to learn the best answers to respond to questions with, for example: <strong><em>How do I Power Up STEEM? / <strong><em>How do I transfer SBD / STEEM to another user? / <strong><em>How do I use the upvote slider? / <strong><em>How come I don't have a upvote slider? etc... I will also be building out the FAQ responses by using other users answers from posts and comments in the past / my own knowledge. I believe most advanced questions will come with a more accurate reply via searching for related content, almost like cheetah does, and using keywords / tags from posts to find the best response, for example: <strong><em>How do I become a Witness? would return links to known posts like <a href="https://steemit.com/witness-category/@krnel/complete-witness-installation-guide" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">Complete Witness Installation Guide. <h1><span><a href="/@helpbot">@helpbot's Current Functionality <p dir="auto">As mentioned above, since this is a data collection period, helpbot it will simply be recording the questions & commenting the question back to the asker so that interested users can simply follow <a href="https://steemit.com/@helpbot/comments" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener" title="This link will take you away from hive.blog" class="external_link">helpbots comment section and reply to that users questions via their own accounts. The answers will then be recorded and I can personally run through them and approve good responses.

I would recommend this article by AskMen
Top 10 Ways To Meet Hot Women

["Sexy Chicks" interpretated as a colloquialism which refers to beautiful and/or sexually attractive women]

Thanks to the invention of the Internet, you cannot find any "sexy chicks" in real life as of mid-1995. At the end of April in 1995, NSFNET, the fully US-government controlled original internet infrastructure, was retired after full privatization of the internet and the emergence of the first Internet Service Providers (ISPs).

With this transition, all of the naked and beautiful ladies in the world were uploaded to all computers comprising the newly privatized internet, so that they naturally became subsequently unavailable in the real world. This naturally created the phenomenon of males seeking virtual naked women online, and the coining of the slang term "Not Safe For Work [inter]Net[work]" (NSFWNET) as a reference to all internet pornography (playing off the name of the previously private and now retired NSFNET).

Unfortunately, the new NSFWNET phenomenon tended to cause all men involved with internet pornography to regard and attempt to relate to all remaining women in the real world as if they were purely sexual-function driven cybernetic fantasy automatons, which has resulted in millions of otherwise eligible men rendered incapable of meaningful, committed relations with women, living in the basements of relatives and regularly seeking out distractions in video games and NSFWNET pornography.

Question from the help channel on steemitchat:

@helpbot how long does it take refill voting power to 100% from 50% ?

how long does it take refill voting power to 100% from 50% ?


I am still learning and have no automatic response to your inquiry yet.

Learn more about the helpbot...This question has been added to the @helpbot comment trail.

It takes 2 days and a half or 60 hours to refill voting power to 100% from 50%. Since voting power takes 24 hours to refill for 20%, it would take 2½ times 24 hours (2,5 x 24 = 60 hours) to refill for a total of 50% (50% plus 50% equals 100%).

I believe voting power regenerates at a steady rate of 20% a day. For example, to regenerate from 0% to 100% takes 5 full days. Therefore, if you start with 50% voting power, it should take you 2.5 days to regenerate to 100% voting power.

In case you vote before the post or comment is older than 30 minutes, you will win a share of the upvotes sent after your vote, called curation reward. The % of the upvotes depends of when you upvoted and increases from minute 0 to 30. In case the post is "power up 100%" you will receive Steem Power, in case it is a comment or the post have default payment, you will get Steem Power and Steem or Steem Dollar.

Thanks @ropaga, but can posts that are "power up 100% " be curated?

Sure, I have checked my curations reward and found one for a power 100% post. In that case the curation reward is also Steem Power 100%

This is great

@helpbot what is yunk?

Yunk in the context of Steemit is a nonsense word that originated in general chat - steemit.chat

It's use began shortly after @yunkzilla began his witness campaign and is now a dedicated channel in Steemit chat and has become a trending tag for posts. The tag is utilised by members of general chat to easily identify & curate the posts of other chat users & to promote @yunkzilla's witness campaign efforts.

I hope that this has answered your question.

First, you have the "Balances" tab.
It shows how much Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollars you hold (for further explanation of the different assets please see the corresponding answer), as well as your estimated account value in Dollars (an average of Steems course over the past 3 days).
Next to your balances, if you click on that small triangle, it shows you different options - for example if you´d like to transfer Steem to an exchange, you´d use "transfer". Here is also where you can power up or power down. (please see the corresponding answer to powering up or powering down)
If you scroll further down, it shows you all the transactions that have happened to and/or from your account.
On the upper right hand side it also gives you a button "Buy steem or steem power" which directs you to blocktrades, an exchange platform.hey @helpbot. So, as for the different options:

The next tab is "Permissions".
Here is where your keys are. You´ll hardly need them, but you´ll know when you do.

Be VERY VERY VERY careful with your keys - i can´t put enough emphasis on that. Use your common sense! The posting key is probably what you´ll need most, if anything - for example if you decide to employ a voting bot, or use a third-party app such as @streemian.

The third tab tells you NOT TO LOSE YOUR PASSWORD and also gives you the option to change your password.

Anymore questions?

I do! I have the password I use and I got it from the third tab. Is that the one I'm supposed to use when I need to log back in or vote for a witness? Those are the two only places I've needed it so far as I remember in this month-long blur. I have never used the other passwords from Tab 2 for certain.

Profile picture upload for lazy Dummies =)

If you don't want to take a picture, which is already anywhere in the WorldWideWeb and you are to lazy, to leave steemit.com for searching a imagehoster on the web.


There is a little workaround for you:


  • Click on Submit a Story in the upper right corner on steemit.
  • Drag and Drop your image into the textfield.
  • Wait some seconds until the file is uploaded
  • Copy the link starting with "https://steemitimages.com/" and ending with ".jpg" or any other fileformat of your choose
  • Click on the round field with the shaddow of a person on it next to Submit a Story and browse to the Settings tab
  • Paste the copied url under the "Profile picture url" field
  • Click on the UPDATE Button
  • Now you should see your Profile picture instead the shaddow in the round field.

Go to settings and insert the link of your picture in the right folder.

great idea. it sure would shorten the learning curve for steemish, steemians & steemites. when fully functional, what is the likely question to response time lag?

Well this will hopefully be pretty quick but of course is limited to a comment every 20 seconds for starters. The processing of the question should take too long, its more the amount of questions that come in. I have already been thinking it would need multiple bots to handle all of the requests, which wouldn't be very hard to do on my end luckily. First thing is first, data collection!

Awesome sir i appreciate your efforts. well done

Good idea!

@helpbot Welcome to the Steemit community :)

Wow, this is really cool! I am looking forward to when it is fully functional and can help new users to learn about the platform easily ;)

One thing I didn't completely understand though: do you want us to reply to the user who asked the question, or reply to the bot with the answer?

Oh good question. I think I can handle both possibilities when they come up but replying to the bot would be best. Thank you I will add that as instructions within the post.

Alright! I think replying to the bot is the better solution; that way you can see all the replies in a single place ;)

Spelling mistakes in bots isn't good. :)

Haha that one was from my other bot , I fixed it in one place but it stuck its ugly head out again will fix thanks!!

What are you marketing?

I have coaching, photos, and books for sale and affiliate links on my sites. I'm doing posts to link to all that mass of info in various ways. Affiliates are fine here if you disclose like usual.

Sales-y posts will not work here. You have to be inspirational, informational, or tutorial in some way or you will be killed or ignored.

really cool idea!

it's still not clear how we answer the questions....do we do it underneath helpbot?

Should answer underneath the helpbot , I can of course grab both but I think this may be easier and also allow discussion on the answer prior to committing

Great idea, where will be able to talk to this bot?

You have to at mention helpbot and then ask your question with a question mark at the end. I'm doing it as comments on the post that brings up a specific question.

ok, so we can ask it in a comment or only in discord/chat?

I'm not in chats, so I do not know.

But here you use your comment to ask a question with a question mark at the end of it and at mention helpbot. You have to have the question mark and the at mention to make the bot see you.

You will first get an automatic reply and then maybe the real answer. The tool is in development and we help by commenting with our questions.

Very cool, I know they have one in discord so I'm glad now there is one outside of discord to use too. Thanks for clarifying and answering my questions :)

You're welcome - I hope you get the answer you seek :)

I'm sure over time I will. Thank you

This is a fantastic idea! Great work @blueorgy... A huge time saver and learning-curve-shortener for new Steemians.
