FreeHAL[1], another (multi language) chat bot and distributed computing project (reading from Wikipedia, IIRC) was also done by a 13-year old.

But in general. A 14-year old isn't that unlikely to be able to program a chatbot, right?

I have indeed heard about FreeHAL. It won "Most Popular" (in the past) in the same contest in which my bot most recently was awarded "Best New Bot". FreeHAL is now discontinued, last I've heard.

Though were did you hear that it's creator was 13-years-old during itself inception? I'm not doubting it, I just haven't found any online sources to validate that point.
