Request For AIML 2.0


For me as I develop interactive robots I have always had the dream to have a conversational AI that I could teach simply by talking to it. I used the Pandorabot and AIML plugins from this site and enjoyed them both. They were just limited to the old 1.0 standard and all the cool new functionality and ability to learn is in the new 2.0 version.
I had previously suggested the AIML plugin needs to be updated to the 2.0 standard but DJ was unable to extract the new data from the Pandorabots new site. I am thinking there may be a way to do it now.
I remember Program AB which myrobotlab was using for inmoov. It exists as a stand alone program/interpreter that is ease to install and run. I was able to get it running in minutes. It is much like the current AIML plugin here where it installs the files locally and does not need an internet connection to use. No need to interface with a site like pandorabots.
Documentation can be found here; https://code.google.com/archive/p/program-ab/
There are wikis and sections on how to configure and use it.
All the pieces are here to whip up a plugin I am sure. I am thinking if it is something DJ and team don't have the time for I would try writing a plugin. Maybe some of the more experienced programmers here can offer up some advice?

Yah - we don't want that.. The yurt living, i mean.
I'll take a more detailed look at program ab for ya
What alternative will you consider if I'm forced to close Synthiam? I hope this never happens.
To a guy like me, who came from out of nowhere in the robotics world, this would be a major tragedy. I have learned so much here . I always considered this forum as a amazing opportunity to learn and to just meet all of you guys.
I am ready to participate in whatever you throw at us. I do enjoy exosphere, I do the 3rd level almost every day, even made my own robot and had people from who knows where, operate it and complete the task.
I obviously don't understand the fulness of it, but again ready to participate in whatever capacity I am able to assist.
Can you please explain the "large customer base outside of this forum that is the reason for advancing technologies that you speak about? and how are they using it?
I always thought of Synthianm as a Debian Linux type model, free to whoever wants to learn with no restrictions on your level of expertise. Leveling the playground.
I do understand this is not a charity. This is a business as was Ez-robot is a business.
If the time comes it comes... to charge! If you do or have to sell the program, or whatever, may I suggest, you still have have beta testers of the software.
I will end here, all the best - with your future decisions
Thanks EzAng
Maybe support for both...never can have too much of a good thing. Like too much beer.
Both? haha It takes a few days up to a week (between 20-40 or so hours) to make plugins and such.
Hi DJ, Just checking in here to see if you made any progress. Interestingly it shows you m\posted to this thread on the 19th but when I enter the thread it shows the last update was on the 6th. I have noticed this on a couple of threads. Maybe a bug.
Nah - we updated the datetime on some threads when we moved them to feature requests. It helped surface the threads.
I haven't made any progress yet because i'm working on some other stuff. I'll start on it in July I think will have time
Yooooo DJ. I hate that you are losing sleep over not having this done yet. You have been such a great influence and a friend to this community. It pains me such to see you hobbled by internal strife and guilt. To be healthy you must retain steady sleep habits which are are probably at a premium right now. I just spent 19 hours on WEBMD and 2 weeks with my Jewish Grandmother and I have determined you have a rare case of Perrywanttaplugin. It is a new affliction that can only be cured but the task completion. Then an ARC update. I didn't invent the rules, It's just science. Be looking for Wikipedia to updated with these facts. They are slow sometime.
And remember community - this is the time to reach out to DJ and help. He needs us. Code snipits preferred but flowers OK
Lol - that’s hilarious. It certainly is on the list long list. And comedy relief is welcome
