Make a KP that lists or catches the "demands" and give it a negative emotional effect. The bot will keep track of this score. For responses to this KP use the emotion range after clicking the more button, build up from there tailoring responses to the current emotional state of the bot. Test in debug, ctrl+f emotion to find the current value.

@ LarsB: may i ask you to help me with that?
i (verb) not (paid|pay) is a KP that gets in contrast with this:
i (verb), (p:fat129707) ...this is my personal plug-ins.
How can i fix it? Atena chooses the wrong reply. Thanks.

i (verb) not (paid|pay) is a KP that gets in contrast with this:
i (verb), (p:fat129707)

I think the comma in the 2nd KP is the problem. It essentially breaks the KP in two parts, the engine will now look for either i (verb) or the plug in to match, it will never match the combination of both. This will not work.

@ Lars: one more problem, i wonder why all that is happening now that i am using plug-ins...anyway Atena doesn't catch the correct reply for this KP:
i (verb) (achieve|reach) * my (p:bisogni129712)
... where is the problem here?? (bisogni means need in italian..one more personal plug-ins i titled with an italian word)

i (verb) (achieve|reach) * my (p:bisogni129712)

As English is not my native language - it seems to me that the KP must match two verbs: (verb) + achieve or reach, perhaps listing the verbs you are looking for will work, like (will|can|must|would|should|will not|can not|must not|would not|should not).

Is there a way I can delete one of my bots?

Hi guys, I'm new here. Just wanted to say hello

@Wolfius:

did you try the "Send Bot To The Trash Heap" button at the very bottom of that bot's Settings page?

It is said that bots below a certain level of AI development can be deleted by a button. (Don't want to create and discard a dummy bot just to verify, though.)

Having read everything in the Book of AI, I'm somewhat lost as to a couple of things.

I downloaded one brain (which appears to be an old version of a previous bot (pre 4/2015) with a similar name, and made another bot and downloaded that one's brain (a lot less information, but it had the correctly formatted keywords - and basically that was it).

From the book, I mostly understand each part, what it does, why it does it insofar as what I put in. I think I understand that the AI engine operates independently and "runs" the brain I will be creating, offering the spell-checking and "interpretation" of the input and such without me having to worry about it.

So far so good.

But I'm not at all certain about the implementation. Basically, I need to know what particular things goes where. Are the keywords that are used in the brain ANYWHERE all clustered together? Do they go with scripts, or are scripts in their own section? That kind of thing.

Since none of this is mentioned in an overall manner, I'm reminded of BASIC coding, without the number lines, which IMPLIES that it doesn't really matter (from a functional point of view) what I put where as long as there's a way for the AI to use the brain to interpret input.

Spaghetti coding is what we called it back in the day.

Is that the case here? Is it left up to the coder to decide where to put things? (In some ways, very liberating, and in some ways a PITA to keep straight.) Or are each types of coding clustered together in their own sections?

Basically, I'd need a layout that has examples of how to implement some basic things (without necessarily an actual "brain", though that would help) with respect to how to put each part together. An outline, of sorts, with respect to how a brain (other than the keywords, which I have in my brain) are implemented in the brain.

I think once I have that cleared up, I can start doing some neat things. But I'm sitting here with all these cool parts, and no idea how they go together.

Can anyone help?

Create a bot, go to its language center, read the book of ai and take it from there. You'll be good after a few weeks.

LarsB, I really do despise trial and error because it wastes time.

A simple outline is all I'm asking for:

Example 1
*******************************************
Headers

----Keyphrases (xsomething))
(List all keyphrases used in the brain here)
----Scripts
(List all scripts used in the brain here)
----Commands
(List all commands used in the brain here)
*************************

Or something like this:

Example 2
*********************************************

Headers

First responses group
Scripts used in this section
Keyphrases used in this section
Commands used in this section.

Second responses group
Scripts used in this section.
Keyphrases used in this section.
Commands used in this section.
*********************************************

Is the format of how it's put together at all important for actual processing? If so, what's the format? If not SAY SO!

That's all I need to know.

I have told you what you need to know. It is all there, what you want is not how this works. Good luck and have fun bot building.
