Re: Beginners questions

use the think tag.

Go through the AIML tutorial and pay attention to the logic tree and to how the * symbol works. What you don't want is to train the bot to specific sentences. What you do want is to train the bot to react to partial phrases or words. There's a very long tutorial available on the pandorabot site and also tutorials on the A.L.I.C.E. site.

Use the train function on the pandorabot site and go through your conversation logs for things to teach your bot about.

I access pandorabot.com with firefox and tend to use the online editor, but if not that, then notepad. You want an editor that saves only in standard ASCII text. So that means don't use Word or any other word processor.

In UNIX, you'd do well with vi for an editor.

I don't think that would do you any good at all.

go to your pandorabot account, click on the my bots tab and select your bot then click on the AIML link. that'll show you all the amil files associated with your bot.

Any training you do goes into a file called update.aiml

A monthly fee is a REQUIREMENT. Sorry but you're not going to get a host with decent options for free. However the bot interface on mediasemantics works well with the pandorabots.

Go here:

click on the AIML link on the pandorabot page after you log into your account.
