Add the Ab.jar library to your application. In your Java files, use

import org.alicebot.ab.*;

Create a bot with

String botname="mybot"; Bot bot = new Bot(botname);

You can also specify a root path for the bot's files with

String botname="mybot"; String path="c:/example"; Bot bot = new Bot(botname, path);

If the Program AB bot files are in a directory c:/example then a bot named named mybot should use the directories:

| Directory | Contents | |:----------|:---------| | c:/example/bots/mybot/aiml | AIML Files | | c:/example/bots/mybot/aimlif | AIMLIF format files | | c:/example/bots/mybot/config | Bot configuration Files | | c:/example/bots/mybot/sets | AIML Sets | | c:/example/bots/mybot/maps | AIML Maps |

The constructor method will load all the bot's categories, substitutions, configuration files, and set and map definitions.

Create a client chat session with

Chat chatSession = new Chat(bot);

Chat with the bot

Use the method multisentenceResponse to get the bot's replies to multiple-sentence (one or more sentence) inputs:

String request = "Hello. Are you alive? What is your name?" String response = chatSession.multisentenceRespond(request); System.out.println(response);
