+ How To Add This Control To Your Project (Click to Expand)
Manual
AIML2 chatbot client for ARC using the Bot Libre free open source cloud service. Bot Libre lets anyone create a chatbot for their robot with unique and customizable personalities.
Get Started
1) Visit https://botlibre.com
2) Press Sign Up (don't worry it's free)
3) Verify the email that Bot Libre will send to you. This email verification must be done in order for the API calls to work, otherwise you will receive an error when using this robot skill.
4) Activate the API by obtaining an "Application ID" in Bot Libre's "User Settings". Click User Settings from the top menu of the website under your username. Then press the "Obtain" next to Application ID. This step is also required for the API calls of the robot skill to work.
5) Press the BOTS icon and New Bot
6) Give your bot a name and select it to be built off an existing bot. It's best to make your bot private as well using the checkbox for Private.
Using in ARC
In arc, you will enter the username and password of the botlibre.com website in the config window. Then, press the Refresh Bot List button and select the bot you wish to use. Your bot will only display in Private if it is marked as private when it was created on bot libre's website. Otherwise, you can revisit botlibre.com and edit the bot to set it as private.
TO DO
- add option to play the audio generated from the bot
- parse response for [ scripts ] to display embedded scripts
I will have some time on Saturday to try it. I have spent a whole lot of time customizing the original 1.x AIML in AimlBot for my Simone robot. There are literally THOUSANDS of changes needed to change ALICE (the chatbot) into SImOne (the robot).
And ALICE is a blank slate. She knows almost nothing. I suppose I will spend the next year adding content to her so she can have a real conversation.

@perry, I’ve been in contact with bot libre about querying the private filter not returning more than 1 bot. They’re a bit slow to respond but I’m sure they’ll have a fix or solution soon
@robo rad - Not sure but I think you can use this as your one allowed plug-in. Give it a try and let us know.
I have been playing around with this a bit. It is important to understand how the bot is setup on their website. There are many options and the tutorials are not all that great. Where you want to start depends on what you want to do. Also, until the bug is fixed you can only have one bot at a time on their website to import. I have made and deleted a few of each. I have had the most entertaining time with the AI Template. Base your bot off that if you want a learning based robot. It can remember responses. You can import information to talk about and I am still learning about that.
The tutorial above will get you through most of the process, just use the AI template and at some point in the future import chat logs and AIML scripts.
We'll be working through this together
In the Bing configuration where it says 'All recognized script' put in this line of code.
Code:
controlCommand("Bot Libre", "Send", $BingSpeech):)*cool*:)

EzAng your tester
followed Perry's advice
Their documentation for the API is outdated and doesn't mention any parameter to "filter by personal bots". The only option they documented was "filter private". But even the filtering of private didn't work because our private bots would only list 1 of the many. Their email responses when i raised the issue told me it was because my bots weren't configured correctly. Anyway, this went on for a while where i believe they actually checked and realized "oh man, this guy is right its is broken"
So they got back to me this morning with an email that said to use a different api call, which is not documented anywhere... with a parameter, that is also not documented anywhere
Needless to say, it magically works now haha
thanks
