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?
