HUBOT Plugin

[mariohmol]

Do you think that is possible to make rivescript works integrated with HUBOT?

So it can answer things like a human robot but do tasks like hubot?

Extremely possible.

Cool!! But would be better if rivescript works with AIML?

And I would like to make a robot oriented to questions, so he makes the questions and based in what users answer can ask others. Do you think is possible to make it with rivescript?

Ex:

You had a problem in the morning, afternon or night?

-> The user answers afterno.. then i make another questoin:

Which state are you located?

-> The user answer state

What is your city?

-> The user answer the city

You can use topics to create a targeted interview system like what you described. My RiveScript chatbot Aiden does this to ask new users some basic questions (name, gender, age). By using topics you can prevent the bot from getting sidetracked until the question has been answered, or the bot gives up (mine tries 3 times to get a valid answer to each question before abandoning the entire interview).

For simpler questions where the bot just wants an answer to one thing, using %Previous works, like

+ i have a problem
- You had a problem in the morning, afternoon or night?

+ [in] [the] morning [*]
% you had a problem in the morning afternoon or night
- What time in the morning?

+ [in] [the] afternoon [*]
% * problem in the morning afternoon *
- What time in the afternoon?

// ...

+ *
% what time in the morning
- Etc...

Not sure what you mean about AIML. RiveScript was inspired by AIML bots so it works somewhat the same, but with a lot of more advanced features (especially the pattern system, with simplified regular expressions). There's a comparison vs. AIML, and there's an aiml2rs converter to translate AIML code into RiveScript (and back again).

I made a Hubot plugin: hubot-rivescript

[mariohmol]

WOWWWWWW fantastic!! I migrated my script to rivescript.. its really cool!

do you use a plugin in sublime, atom or other IDE to help colloring in .rive files? Do you have a google groups or something where we can discuss and this be searchable on internet?

Syntax highlighters:

• Atom
• SublimeText
• Vim

Groups:

• Botmakers Slack has a #rivescript channel
• Chatbots.org has a RiveScript forum (indexable by Google)
• The Facebook page is pretty new, mostly I just announce things on it.
