Promoting the development and adoption of ALICE and AIML Free Software

Superbot - The Easy Way to Create Your Own Custom Bot

Have you ever wanted to create your own totally unique custom bot character, as smart as ALICE, but with a completely different personality? Where do you start? It took us over ten years to build up the contents of the ALICE brain, but now your creative team can do it in about two weeks. We've put together a bot brain with blank templates. You fill in the answers.

The ALICE A. I. Foundation is offering a totally upgraded product, the Superbot 2.1, that helps you create a totally unique custom bot personality for your web site or application. The Superbot 2.1 provides you the following:

Top 10K AIML Categories with blank responses: We've created an AIML set with input patterns and blank responses. Use this AIML set if you want to create a totally custom bot from scratch.
20K Safe AIML Reductions: AIML uses "reductions" to divide up and simplify inputs, and to link synonyms together. The "Safe" AIML reductions are designed to work with any bot. The Safe AIML Reductions save you from having to write thousands of AIML categories.
Top 10K AIML Categories with ALICE responses: The Top 10K most activated AIML categories with the original ALICE bot responses. This set can be modified easily to quickly create a new bot personality.
Top 10K AIML Categories split into "Atomic", "Wild" and "Reductions": "Atomic" categories are ones with no wild cards in the patterns, and no reductions in the response. "Wild" categories are ones with one or more wildcards in the pattern, and no reductions in the response. "Reduction" categories are all the ones with AIML reductions. This set helps you divide up the work of creating your custom chat bot.
Free Riot Software SAE AIML Spreadsheet Editor: The Simple AIML Editor is a spreadsheet-oriented AIML editor for Windows that provides all the capabilities you need to create your bot with the Superbot AIML files.

Superbot FAQ

What is the Superbot?

The Superbot is not a bot by itself. The Superbot is a development kit for creating your own unique bot. You use the Superbot to create your own bot character's personality.

What is the advantage of Superbot over Free ALICE?

You have a business, ad agency, research project, or government contractor that wants to put a bot on their website. Or maybe you are developing a game character or teacher bot or another innovative chat bot application. You can get a free copy of the ALICE brain but the problem is, even though she is very smart, she often says things you don't want her to say. The Superbot solves that problem by allowing you, or a technical writer on your team, to create the bot personality through a simple question-answering and word-association process. Now, you control what the bot says.

What if I am not using AIML?

The Superbot data is incredibly valuable no matter what bot programming language you are using. The data is based on Zipf's Law, which tells us that the distribution of inputs in natural language follows a 1/x distribution. No matter what kind of bot you are creating, it is well worth having the top 10K most frequent inputs as a test set for your project, because it covers all of the most common inquiries your bot will encounter.

Can I use the Superbot to create more than one bot?

Yes, our end user license agreement allows you to create as many bots as you want from the Superbot data. Also, these bots become your own intellectual property, because you write the responses. Unlike ALICE Free Software, the Superbot is the basis for creating bot characters that you can own.

The only thing you can't do with the Superbot, is to resell the Superbot itself. The ALICE A. I. Foundation reserves the exclusive right to market and sell the Superbot product.

Can I also use Free ALICE files with Superbot files?

Absolutely. You can mix and match files from the ALICE AAA Set or other free AIML sets. Strictly speaking, under the rules of the GNU public license, you only have to put your AIML under the GNU license if you distribute the software. But if you are developing a proprietary server-based or embedded application, there is no problem mixing free ALICE AIML files with your customized Superbot files.

Can I buy the Suberbot for a discounted price?

Yes! If you are a student, academic researcher, hobbyist, senior or disabled, and you plan to use the Superbot for non commercial purposes, you can get a discounted Superbot license. Please contact drwallace at alicebot dot org or Skype dr.wallace for more information.

How does the Superbot 2.1 differ from the original Superbot?

In 2005 we released the first version of the AIML Superbot. Specifically, the ALICE bot consists of over 120,000 patterns and responses. By mining our conversation logs, we uncovered the top 10K most activated patterns. We made those patterns available in a convenient XLS Spreadsheet format.

The Superbot 2.1 includes its own Spreadsheet-style editor for AIML. We have also split the top 10K categories into several different files for your convenience.

I already purchased a version of the Superbot. Can I upgrade?

Yes! The Superbot 2.1 is available as an upgrade for earlier versions of the Superbot for only $199. If you previously purchased a Superbot from the ALICE A.I. Foundation, click here for an upgrade offer.
