Contents of README:ainebot This is the 'ainebot' chatbot and its' related utilities and database files. ainebot can be run as a command-line live interface, or can be accessed through a web browser using the cgi interface. aine is based on the work of several other chatbot intefaces which use AIML (Artifical Intelligence Markup Language) database files. aine uses its' own file format for the datafiles, called Aine Language. The Aine Language is much more compact and readable than the XML-formatted AIML files. aine is written with speed and low resource usage in mind. In contrast to most other chatbots which require a long time to start, and/or use lots of CPU cycles and RAM while running, aine both starts fast and uses very little resources. In order to use any of the aine interfaces, you'll need the aine 'brain'. The brain is built using input files coded in the Aine Language -files usually ending with the '.aine' suffix. Just as with AIML, *.aine files are usually written and grouped to provide the chatbot interface with a 'personality'. Some AIML and Aine Language data-sets are 'add-ons' which provide extra functionality. The ainebot sources provide one complete personality called 'amy'. Amy is based on the AIML personality 'Anna'. Other *.aine files are also included which contain routines for demonstrating or testing aine features. aine achieves very fast program startup times by using a 'compiled' brain. That means that the *.aine files are pre-processed and output in a partially 'binary' format, so that input-matches and outputs can be accessed much faster. All aine programs use the same 'binary format' brain. The subdirectory 'AineLanguage' of the ainebot sources contains the initial data files written in the Aine Language. The compiled 'brain' files will be placed in the data/brain directory. Building ainebot: 1. Compile the aine or aine.cgi interface from within the subdirectory named 'src'. Typing 'make help' will show you the available options. The compiled program(s) will be created in the top level of the sources. 'make all' will build both the CLI and cgi versions plus the aine-compiler. 2. The aine 'brain' files can now be compiled from the top level of the sources by running the command './aine-compiler index-file', where 'index-file' is the path to the file containing the list of Aine Language files which should be included in the brain. To build the standard 'Amy' brain, use the command './aine-compiler AineLanguage/amy/brain_index.txt'. Running ainebot without installation: The CLI version of the ainebot can be run without any installation, from within the top level of the sources, simply by running the command './aine' Using the ainebot cgi version: See the file docs/cgi-man.txt for information on setting up the cgi version Installing ainebot: At the present time, ainebot looks for both its' compiled brain files and its' logs relative to the directory it is run from. This means the contents of the 'data' and 'log' directories should be located in the same directory where the ainebot CLI program is run. |
