It turns out that in the history of chatbots, Red Father exists only in the memories of a few people who played it. Neither AT&T’s corporate historian nor long-retired employees of Bell Labs knew about it, and after many calls failed to turn up information, I began to feel like I was chasing a ghost. Given Bell Labs’ history as an innovation center with researchers always playing around with new technologies, it’s likely that it was someone’s passion project, perhaps built solely for the fun of it, that never came close to having a commercial life.

Only in the memories of a child that used Red Feather does it survive.
