A few years ago I wanted to write a similar chat bot, which would answer questions of my mom in a IM conversation. It wouldn't be difficult at all, since she was asking always the same: did you eat something today? Do you feel good? How was your day? Etc.
But then I couldn't reconcile such solution with my conscience.
When you're a parent yourself you'll understand why your Mom asks you the _same_ _boring_ questions everyday. Count yourself lucky that she cares and that's she's savvy enough to use IM :)
