About

This is an extremely simple example of how to use AIML files in Ruby through the terminal. It uses the ProgramR gem to parse the .aiml files and to get an response of our questions.

This example uses the Sara Spanish set of AIMLs that you could find here. You could try to download another set to play with it.

Usage

To test this example, you should follow this steps:

• Install Ruby version 2.2.3 e.g. (using RVM or RBenv or whatever).

• Clone the repo and make the bot.rb file executable:

user@computer:~$ git clone [email protected]:dreamingechoes/aiml-ruby-example.git
user@computer:~$ cd aiml-ruby-example
user@computer:/aiml-ruby-example$ chmod +x bot.rb

• Install the ProgramR gem by executing:

user@computer:/aiml-ruby-example$ gem install programr

• Then you are ready to test this by executing the file and starting to type some questions to get an answer:

user@computer:/aiml-ruby-example$ ./bot.rb

When you've tired of talking to the bot, type quit to exit.
