need? What is alternatives.

I will look at it.

1/ Encarta@conversagent.com was created... by a company named
Conversagent. You can use their Software Development Kit to develop
your own agents for free. It works with all the major IM networks, and
you can also deploy an agent on a web page.
2/ Their SDK comes with a documentation and a quick start guide
including a tutorial.
3/ It depends on the nature of your project. The main challenge is to
spend your time on the questions people will actually ask your agent.
On a web page, you mostly "push" information to the user, so you have
more control of what the user sees. With an interactive agent, the
user is in control and "pulls" information, so you need to anticipate
the questions.

Oh, I forgot... The Conversagent SDK is called "BuddyScript"
