The AI Engine

Can someone help me understand the seek function like ho to actually use it because i followed the AI book example to the tee and my bot still can't register the seek phrase

Never mind I figured it out. Seeks are case-sensitive

I'm not going to lie, this is really frustrating. The AI book is not as comprehensive as it should be to get someone going. I don't understand how to utilize AIScript, the book says there are rules that a keyphrase abides by so you have to write the keyphrase in a specific way (i.e. no capitals yet when you don't put the capital and when the bot chats and receives the response with a capital, the bot doesn't understand the message). I get it. This whole site is free for people to use, but man am I lost. How do you get your bot to remember any new name said and recall for the remainder of a conversation? How do you use the plugins correctly? Where are the extensive examples? the Book of AI is much like an old math textbook with useless examples, indirect instructions, and the only way to understand it is if you have prior knowledge. I appreciate what this site stands for but man the guidance here sucks.

how to use plugins.
example 1
keyphrase = is (p:emotions2) a emotion
response=yes

example 2
keyphrase = i am (p:emotions2) right now.
response = i sometimes feel that way.

play around with that for now.
i will answer the other questions ounce you get the hang of that.

When it comes to names, you can ask the user what their name is, and have a response of xnomatch so it catches any response. Add the aiscript rem 'name' as only (key1), then use (mem-name) any time you want to use their name.

Also, I'm finding that the lowercase seeks work fine with uppercase and mixed case responses - unless you're using raw aiscript, the site turns all messages to lowercase when it does its spellcheck etc.. what was failing to be matched, and by what? When using debug mode, did it say the input was still uppercase after processing?

yes and no's tend to need to be raw to work. not always the case though. there was something else like this too but idk

Thank you for responses, I will play around with what was mentioned. I'm still having trouble wrapping my mind around (Key)'s but I don't have any specific question except the general concept of not understanding. But I'll try and reread the book of AI again. Also, the response that wasn't working was "hey" it wouldn't understand "Hey" so I had to make a word list. I'm finding myself making word lists with every possible variation of the word and I'm not using raw. But again thank you for responding, I really appreciate it.

Hey is odd, I believe. I think all greetings get pulled into xhello, and triggers once per person before triggering xgreeting instead.

I'm guessing no one knows anything about my plug-in failure ?

to recap im talking about how in convo's, used plugins don't always seem to work. so the bot just ends up saying a incomplete sentence.

I could just replace most of them with (asdas|asdas) but it would kinda defeat the point.

iv also noticed the rem (mem-anything) as only "w/e" is buggy.. its made a few new mems like as only "yes" and it makes a new mem called yes and remembers it as the next as only requested.. might have to go back and change it.. just a heads up.

But I seriously need to know about that plug in bug..

i would not use slash with memory
