Delete, computer program which fails general notability guidelines. JBsupreme (talk) 15:52, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. One Google hit looked promising, but it returned an Error 404. The rest are just blogs, forums, and download sites. -- Blanchardb -^{Me•MyEars•MyMouth}- timed 16:01, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Delete. No coverage to speak of, as noted above. It's possible this sort of thing will take off, and if it does an article might be appropriate (with proper sources). But we're not there yet. As an aside, I'm not sure if the comparison between this software's AI and HAL 9000 is comforting, what with the whole Murdering-its-users thing.

Weakish keep. This was reviewed in PCWorld, and here's an article from the Erie Times-News which reveals that Ultra Hal won the Loebner Prize for "most human" chatterbot. I'm not entirely convinced this software merits inclusion, but it looks like it. Glenfarclas (talk) 18:29, 1 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
