I'm attempting to run a sample Chatbot Python script is:
import aiml
import os
kernel = aiml.Kernel()
kernel.bootstrap(learnFiles = os.path.abspath("home/pi/watson/std-startup.xml"), commands = "load aiml b")
kernel.saveBrain("bot_brain.brn")
# kernel now ready for use
while True:
message = input("Enter your message to the bot: ")
if message == "quit":
exit()
elif message == "save":
kernel.saveBrain("bot_brain.brn")
else:
bot_response = kernel.respond(message)
print(bot_response)
Standard Startup is:
aiml version="2.0">
<category>
<!-- Pattern to match in user input -->
<!-- If user enters "load aiml b" -->
<pattern>load aiml b</pattern>
<!-- Template is the response to the pattern -->
<!-- This learn an aiml file -->
<template>
<learn>basic_chat.aiml</learn>
<!-- You can add more aiml files here -->
<!--<learn>more_aiml.aiml</learn>-->
</template>
</category>
</aiml>
When I run the script I get the following:
WARNING: No match found for input: load aiml b and basic_chat.aiml does not load
If I run this simple script
import aiml
import os
kernel = aiml.Kernel()
kernel.learn("basic_chat.aiml")
while True:
message = input("Enter your message to the bot: ")
if message == "quit":
exit()
elif message == "save":
kernel.saveBrain("bot_brain.brn")
else:
bot_response = kernel.respond(message)
print(bot_response)
it works fine. This is okay but eventually I want to add many more aiml files to the chatbot and I think I need the startup file for this.
