Program scripts add but don't do anything.

When I add a AIML Program script, it says that is adds, but it doesn't make a difference to the bots knowledge artifacts.

Thanks.

What do you mean by 'knowledge artifacts'?

I tested your bot, and the AIML scripts you added seem to be working.

You: who invented the light bulb
Xecta V2: Thomas Edison invented .

You: what did hal do?
Xecta V2: He had a few issues to work out.

You can import AIML scripts from two places. When adding from the Program page, it will be added as a script, and the list of scripts will be executed in the order of the list. So something from a script higher up in the list can take precedence.

You can also import AIML scripts from the Chat Logs page. The script will not be executed as a script, but the patterns/templates will be added to the bots known responses, and the bot will decide when to use them.

FYI, the bots have a size limit to their knowledge base of 100,000 items. Once the bot exceeds the limit it will start to forget its least referenced/important data. So, you have to be careful on importing too much data.

The commercial site, http://www.paphuslivechat.com has a bigger limit, if 100,000 is not sufficient.
