Google Talk Guru is a new automated chat bot that can be asked simple questions and will provide you with an instant answer. It is currently an experimental service form Google, but simply invite guru@googlelabs.com in Gmail chat (or any other chat client you may use for Gmail chat) and you can ask things such as the weather for an area or the score for a team and the Guru will reply with the answer.I wouldn't say it is quite a Guru yet as you can currently only ask it the following topics: score, weather, define, translate, web. However it is a nifty little gadget and has some great possibilities for future expansion.
