Ultra Hal Assistant

Ultra Hal Assistant is a chatterbot intended to function as a personal assistant. It was developed by Zabaware, Inc.

Ultra Hal won the 2007 Loebner Prize for "most human" chatterbot.[1]

Its name is an allusion to HAL 9000, the artificial intelligence from the movie 2001: A Space Odyssey.[2]
