Is your pc set to refuse cookies? Online ALICE bots generally assign
you a unique id # which it stores in a cookie it places on your pc.
Information which the bot needs to "remember" is stored on the cookie.
If your pc is set not to accept cookies, the bot has nowhere to store
information about your conversation. This is the most likely source of
the problem. With the cookie in place, the bot should not only
remember details of your conversation during the chat, but also
remember some information from one visit to the next.
