Abstract
This is the first in a series of reports to acquaint the AI community with the first commercially available natural language processor for data base query. The system, called ROBOT, is being marketed by the Artificial Intelligence Corporation of Kensington, Maryland, and is currently installed in three commercial sites. In this report we trace the origins of the system, the installation and acceptance testing performed by the user sites, and the impact the system has had on the trade media's view of AI.
