I don't get what's new about any of this. I disclosed in this thread in other answers already the APIs I use,
I have yet to know any "intelligent" piece of artificial intelligence software that is not dependent whatsoever on external APIs. (Read: Siri, which is much more dependent on the WolframAlpha API then mine is). To me, it wouldn't be intelligent not to straddle the large resources of data available.
What you posted to, also, was hardcoded in WolframAlpha's system, which is not impressive.
Furthermore, try using WolframAlpha for conversation, and prepare to be disappointed. There's a lot of parsing going on in the backend on my system to make it work.
You're asking whats your name? I can't put my finger on it, but I'm pretty sure it's I don't know, but I can offer data about many names; maybe even your name if you tell me what it is..
On a side note, you told me earlier something about yourself, that ' my name is jeff'. I thought it might be relevant to your question.
