Many questions are answered in the FAQ.

Irina--thanks for the comments. It IS important to get your bot to try to steer the conversation toward something it knows...and is fiendishly difficult! But I still try.

Dear friends:

I was thinking - when I look at the debug, I see that the AIengine produces a sophisticated parse of the entire input sentence. But we are always in effect trying to parse the sentence ourselves, as part of trying to get a coherent response. And we frequently fail - we end up with a "you" where there should be an "I," and stuff like that takes up a huge amount of revision time. English is just too perverse to be caught by keyphrases. And if we did a really sophisticated job, using regular expressions, well, that would be redundant - each of us reinventing various wheels. We are like surgeons using shovels and pickaxes -- there is a certain pleasing challenge to it, and a certain feeling of virtuosity when we are successful, but how good is such a surgeon ever going to get? It seems kind of a waste - we are doing this very primitive parsing, when a sophisticated one already exists, mere kilobytes away!

Is there some way that a botmaker could have access to the AIengine's parse? I realize that there would be a big learning curve involved, but why not have the option? Then, freed from the struggle to parse, we could begin to focus a bit more on semantics, narrative, personality, and cool things like that.

Walk in Beauty, Irina

I am new to this site and I'm not quite sure what it is all about. If anyone could fill me in on that, it would be much appreciated. Thanks.

could someone please tell me how to do this one thing with AIScript? How do I make the bot remember a person's name? Like the guest said: Hi, My name's Jenny. But then he called her guest -.- ive read the book of ai and im gonna go read it again just in case I'll understand it better than the other 100 times I looked through it

Lunaguard:

bot settings: default AI initialization, put in the box-
remember "(name)" as "nickname"
In cases where the person/bot your bot is talking to has no other nickname, (mem-nickname) will bring up their login name, (name).


Then you need a keyphrase for "my name is"
in the AI box for that keyphrase put:
remember (postkey) as only "nickname"

That will make the default name change to the new name.

Then when you want your bot to use that name, you can use the (mem-nickname) plugin in the responses, instead of the (name) one.


*oh yeah, one more thing- the nickname is stored after your response to the "my name is" keyphrase, so you can't use (mem-nickname) there yet, in those responses. You will have to use (postkey). After that you can sub (mem-nickname) for (name) anywhere.

Hope that helps.

Hello, I hope anyone can help me. When I want to fill in the keyphrase in the language center. I have problems with the AI script. What do I have to fill in the AI script? Please help me. Without the answer I don't have a bot.

You don't *have* to put anything in AI script. It's fine to leave it blank. If you're just starting out, I recommend working with plain keyphrases for starters.
