Robot extensions, Google Wave

In this post I will try to discuss how communication between your robot and wave client works. This process is based on the event subscription model. What this means is that a robot has to specify what events it wants to listen and react to.

Robot development for Google Wave has sparked my imagination lately. The majority of Google Wave extensions are written using Java and Python but this article shows how to create a Google Wave robot in Coldfusion.

If you want to learn how to use Google Robots entirely, it's a good idea to learn how to stop Google robots from indexing pages using nofollow and follow rules. This is possible by setting meta details within your html.

Wouldn't it be great if there were a way to enable people who don't have a Google Wave account to participate in Google Wave? That has now become a reality thanks to a new robot that was recently announced by the WaveDOTto team. The robot is called Mr. Ray (mr-ray@appspot.com).

I hope this sample will provide you enough information and details to get started with Google Wave robot development using .Net. I will post some more samples to demonstrate more advanced features of this framework.

This tutorial shows how to write a Google Wave Robot using Version 2 of the Wave Robot API.

This tutorial on Google Wave demonstrates how to add robots into your Google Wave client. In this tutorial we use Sweepy the robot to remove empty blips within a Wave although the principles illustrated can be applied to any robot within Google Wave.

This page introduces some robot basics for use within Google Wave, including how robots are set up, where they are hosted, and how they're identified to Google Wave clients. This article also details a robot's capabilities and how meta information is attached to the robot, via profiles.

Robots are an important part of the Google Wave API, and they've just become a lot more powerful. This article highlights a bunch of new features available within version 2.0 of the Google Wave robots API.

The biggest feature in the newest release of the Google Wave Robots API is the Active API. This enables developers to create pre-programmed responses to certain external events, removing the need for the Cron API, which is far less desirable. Now, reactions to any external source of information can be programmed in advance.

Use Google Wave to send content to your blog. The Posterous-Robot allows you to easily manage blog page creations within Google Wave. The Posterous API allows you to send photos, videos and many other forms of media through Google Wave to your Blog.

A detailed look into Google Wave and how the framework allows anyone to be a Google Wave provider due to it's open source nature. This article also looks at some key user events available to the Wave developer and how different logic can be executed within the wave, for example, events exist to monitor when participants leave the conversation.

This is a small Google Wave robot that interacts with Salesforce.com to display contacts, accounts and opportunities. Simply follow the video and add the robot (sfdcwavebot@appspot.com) to your contacts.

Article on code highlighting for developers out there using Google Wave. The following steps demonstrate how to enjoy syntax highlighting within your waves. This is made possible with the use of the kasyntaxy@appspot.com robot.

One of the weaknesses that have been identified by many with Google Wave is the lack of integration with email. My goal here is to use email as a means to bring people back to the Wave to keep the collaboration/discussion going in a single environment.

The Dude-y Google Wave robot simply notices keywords and responds to them with some canned quotes from the film, Big Lebowski adding some entertainment to your otherwise boring waves. This article provides a screen shot of the robot in action within a Wave.

The first step to create a Google Wave robot is to register with the Google App Engine. Using this and the SDK it doesn't take much to get your robot up and running in the Google Wave sandbox.

In this post, we will look at the different ways of developing with Google Wave. There are three ways you can extend or use Google Wave in your applications. In this article we'll demonstrate the differences, including code listings.

This example Wave robot automatically removes all the bad words it catches people using. To create a Google Wave robot you will need an App Engine account and you will also need to download the Python SDK which is available for free.

When you create a wave, you can invite other people to read and edit it. This article explains how you can also invite software agents known as Wave Robots to read and edit waves including full code listings.

This post gives a short introduction of how to build a Google Wave robot. The goal is to build a robot that takes user input as a Groovy script, evaluates it and displays the result back in the wave.

Google Wave is really cool because it comes with an API to allow developers to build extensions for it. The Google App Engine currently supports 2 toolkits, namely Java and Python. This tutorial shows how to start a new Rave Project and how to build a robot.

Learn how to create a Wave robot using Gaelyk in this article. In this article I use IntelliJ 8.1.3 thanks to it's terrific support for Groovy and the Google App Engine. This tutorial also shows how to setup Gaelyk.

When added, this simple robot, created for my own entertainment will introduce itself and then wait for a blip starting with 'fml' and replace it with the upper case equivalent. This robot was created for educational purposes and for my entertainment more then anything.

Emoticony is a robot for Google Wave. When added to a wave, it converts text representations of emoticons to actual images once the blip is submitted. An example of Emoticony in action can be seen below with step by step instructions on how to add the robot into your wave.

Sample code explaining how to use Google's new Wave platform, including code examples and screen shots demonstrating the the robot working.

Learn how to use robots to replace text within a Wave. In this example the blip_submitted event is used to replace the string 'Java' with 'Java(TM)-based technology'. This example provides screen shots and full code listing for my first Google Wave robot.

Of the 66 Robots reviewed for Google Wave Enterprise, some look promising whilst others appear to add little or no value what so ever. Please note, the robots featured in this list are only those in working condition.

This tutorial describes how to write an Advanced Google Wave Robot that can respond to one or more commands.

Writing a Google Wave Robot in Java is simple. Now it is even simpler with the Wad Robot Framework. This tutorial describes how to get started with writing Simple Google Wave Robots in Java with minimum amount of code and letting the framework do the heavy lifting for you.
