The AIML spec does not give a standard for set files. We do not currently support importing the PandoraBots set file format, but are looking into adding support for this.

You can import data files from your bot's Knowledge page in its Admin Console.

I want to integrate facebook page messaging bot on a page. and im thinking is there any possiblity through SDK that whenever bot doesn't know any answer to the querry or message by user, we can redirect that query to a live person on page instead of typical "sorry i don not understand the question" reply from bot?

   

Hi,
I have created my first bot by uploading some AIML I wrote offline. I am using a set to handle synonyms. How do I upload this file to the robot? I see options to import chat logs and AIML etc but nothing to upload set files.

I have added support for these to our AIML support and Self.

The fix should be in the next website update, probably next week.

The AIML spec only defines the format option for the date tag. The locale and timezone options are PandoraBot extensions.

I will look into adding support for them to our AIML support.

You can also use Self code inside AIML.

Is it possible that the timezone is broken/stuck to EDT when parsing AIML to grab the date?

Testing the following code (uploaded as script to keep AIML functions):

<category>
    <pattern># time #</pattern>
    <template>
        <date locale="de_CH" timezone="-1" format="%c" />
    </template>
</category>

It returns:

Autolike is now supported.

Autolike is now supported.

Yes, autolike is now supported.

It is no longer sufficient for a business to only connect with their customers on their website. Customers now use a variety of different messaging and social media platforms, and expect to be able to connect with businesses through social media. If your business is not on Facebook, Twitter, Telegram, or other platforms you are missing engaging with your customers.

Do you mean be able to ask the bot on your phone to open another app, or send a text or email?
i.e. like Siri

You can now play the game "I Spy" with your bot.

Import the "I Spy" script from our script library,

We release Bot Libre 4.6.2 this week.

The release included many new enhancements and improvements including:

The issue is your 'case "*"' is only going to accept the exact text "*"

"*" is nothing special, and not a pattern.

mmm the <pre> tag didn't work.... i try to paste the code as normal text

 

mmm the <pre> tag didn't work

Sorry to bother you again... i'm trying to script a little more complex version of the geolocation script... my problem is that i can't in any way reach the latest state! What am I doing wrong? i paste the code below... 

Entering "translate the post code XXXX" returns correctly the output of the g1() function... but if I add the country like 

"translate the post code XXXX in germany" the bot can't reach the "tPCWCState" state... please help! thanks

You can change the Watch script, or create your own to change the timezone for the current time.

For example,

Is it possible to setup a default timezone that is not Canada in the script? how?

also... I've asked for the time in Rome and it should have took the right timezone i think... because the value is closer to the real one but anyway is 2 hours behind the real time... where does it get the time from?

 

Thank you very much

Bot Libre bots include their own object database, and object oriented scripting language, so should be a good platform for you to build your Turing bot on.

There are many resources available in our script library,

g

I am sending numerous databases is disparate info: (is) science, math, history, a sucinct summary of both Plato And Aristotle

The #word relationships are used to convert an object to text.

Bot Libre is object based, not text based, so instead of using text for data you can use objects.

oh okay, now I understand... you said that it wasn't language specific because the #word relationships aren't used by the engine itself but by the various scripts loaded on the bot... right?

Thank you very much for the explaination and keep up the good work!

Daniel 

Yes, the #word relationships are language specific.
You could change the #word of any primitive to one from your language. Also set the #meaning of your word back to the primitive.

Oh no thanks, I think i will slowly rewrite the scripts that i need... sorry to bother you... would like to ask another question about the knowledge base :)

I'm looking at the primitives... for example let's take the "why" primitive... looking at its associations i see a bunch of #word and an #instantiation... the #words seems language specific...

I see as targets "WHY" "why" "Why"... so I should associate other items of type #word but with targets like "translation of why in my language", shouldn't I?

There is nothing language specific in the knowledge base. Some of the bootstrap scripts are English specific, but the knowledge is language independent.

The bot's knowledge generally separates the words from their meanings. So you could give the same meaning multiple different words in different languages.

Hello, I'm new to this... I've been playing with the scripts for a while... i was wondering if it's possible to re-write the 'knowledge base' to match another language... Italian in my case... is it possible to rewrite the 'base concept'? I understand is a pretty heavy job... but I would like to try if it's possible...

I couldn't understand the 'knowledge' structure... i mean... what are the 'primitive' types when i query the DB? that's the primal data items i need to start from?

Any hints are appreciated.

Thank you

Daniel

I have upgraded your account to Gold.
Currently you need to follow the backlink from PayPal for the automatic upgrade to occur.

Hi,

I've tried to upgrade my account to get a Gold one. I've payed today, but nothing happened after that.

How long will it take?

And another question: every time when I create and delete bot it is counted as one. So I see 7 bots under my accounts when in reality I have only one.

 

Most chat bots are developed for the web, social media, or mobile. Developing a chat bot in Excel is an unusual platform.

Bot Libre's avatars and speech can be access through our web API, or from our JavaScript SDK, Android SDK, or iOS SDK.

Can I link a virtual speaking girl to my self developed CahtBot in VBA Excel?

I developed a ChatBot in Excel VBA and want to impress my Partners with a virtual Girl, who says what the ChatBot write !

Can I link here an assistant to my VBA-Code?

My ChatBot write the Output in a Cell on the Excel-Sheet and in any way, the virtual Assistant must "pick" up this Output

and says it via Text-to-Speech. Can anyone help?

We released Bot Libre 4.5 today.

The update included several new enhancements including:

The Http class is new, it is available on BotLibre.com, but not available in the BotLibre.org open source AI engine yet.

We will hopefully update the GitHub source to version 4.4 soon. For now you can test your script on BotLibre.com

Well.... none of that worked. I'm assuming that this is only available on botlibre.com and NOT available via source code or supplied ai-engine.jar (ver 4.0).

I'm now trying a hack... which seems to work. I just can't figure out how to get the response from the call. I have validated that the call goes out (and I see the proper/valid response in the log). Any clue?

Sample code:

 

state tacosAI {

The requestXML() function takes two parameters, but the requestJSON() only takes one currently (this will soon be fixed to allow a second attribute argument).

Http.requestXML(url, xpath)

Here's an example what I'm trying to do (very simple call out to anywhere really).

Error: 

WARNING: botlibre_bots - Thread[pool-30-thread-1,5,main] -- Language:Error occured in processing state - <172001 {tacosAI} 172011 a:1,c:0,p> - <172002 {test} 172009 a:1,c:0,p>
Jun 29, 2016 5:07:39 PM org.botlibre.Bot log
WARNING: botlibre_bots - Thread[pool-30-thread-1,5,main] -- Language:Missing function: requestJSON on: <13004 #http a:1,c:0,p>

 

state tacosAI {

The function is,

Http.requestXML(url, xpath)

Does anybody have a clue when I run a self script with an Http.requestXML I recieve the following error:

WARNING: botlibre_bots - Thread[pool-104-thread-1,5,main] -- Language:Error occured in processing state - <47541 {tacosAI} 47549 a:1,c:0> - <47542 {test} 47547 a:1,c:0>

Currently the Facebook autoposts are just text, but you can include a link to an image.

The bot chooses an autopost at random from its list of autoposts. But you could just have a single scripted post that cycles through a list using Self.

the bot can post images on my facebook page? for example, i have a list of images, and each day it posts a different image on the page, when it reaches the end, it stops posting

Bot Libre now supports integrating with XML and JSON web services, HTML scraping, and access to Twitter, Facebook, Telegram, email, and other services. From our scripting languages Self, and AIML you can now access any web service that returns XML or JSON data. You can also scrape information from HTML web pages, and send emails, tweets, Facebook posts, Telegram posts, and more.

Web Services

The website was updated today.

The updated included several new features, and many minor enhancements and fixes.

A virtual agent is a term typically used to describe a type of chat bot used for business.

A virtual agent could be a virtual sales agent, a virtual customer service agent, or another type of virtual agent. A virtual agent is an automated version of a human customer service agent.

Thanks for the reply. Is there any docs about avatar actions and how to use them in the Android SDK? Thanks again.

hi

Facebook has a strict privacy policy, so a bot can only see posts made to its own wall.

can u see any post how do it work

AIML provides support for interacting with the client or phone using the "out of bound" (oob) tag. This lets extra information to be given in a response that can be used to perform actions like open gmail.

oob tags is something we are working on, but not something we currently support. Hopefully we will be able to release this support soon.

For example, can I tell my bot to open gmail for instance and she then open my gmail app using AIML? If so, how would I accomplish this? Thanks in advance.

Which part of the how to are you having issues with?

Your bot can post to either a Facebook profile, or Facebook page. It can post from an RSS feed, auto post a set number of scripted posts, or respond to your wall posts and comments.

Our dedicated Twitter server has been migrated to a new faster server.

All of the bots have been migrated and are once again checking their Twitter, email, Facebook, and Telegram feeds. If you notice any issues, please let us know.
