    From your description, it's not clear what portion of the system you're
    looking for.
    
    You might look at AIML. I'm using something like AIML in my game, except
    I've extended it to include probabilities, and be driven by code (not
    simplistic scripts).
    
    You also need to figure out how furstrated players will get then the
    chatterbot doesn't understand what's being asked of it, and whether the
    benefits outweigh the frustrations. I found that open-ended chatterbot
    functionality, for the most part, was a net loss. I still use the flexible
    parser, but I always provide players with a list of the most common
    responses.
