AIML - First Application
Let us start creating first bot which will simply greet a user with Hello User! when a user types Hello Alice.
Create the Project Structure
As in AIML Environment Setup, we've extracted content of program-ab in C > ab with the following directory structure.
| S.No. | Directory & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
c:/ab/bots Stores AIML bots |
| 2 |
c:/ab/lib Stores Java libraries |
| 3 |
c:/ab/out Java class file directory |
| 4 |
c:/ab/run.bat batch file for running Program AB |
Now, create a directory test inside C > ab > bots and create the following directories in it.
| S.No. | Directory & Description |
|---|---|
| 1 |
c:/ab/bots/test/aiml Stores AIML files |
| 2 |
c:/ab/bots/test/aimlif Stores AIMLIF files |
| 3 |
c:/ab/bots/test/config Stores configuration files |
| 4 |
c:/ab/bots/test/sets Stores AIML Sets |
| 5 |
c:/ab/bots/test/maps Stores AIML Maps |
Create Source Files
Create test.aiml inside C > ab > bots > test > aiml and test.aiml.csv inside C > ab > bots > test > aimlif directories.
test.aiml
<?xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8"?>
<aiml version="1.0.1" encoding = "UTF-8"?>

<template>

Execute the Program
Open the command prompt. Go to C > ab > and type the following command −
java -cp lib/Ab.jar Main bot = test action="/?originalUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fdev.tutorialspoint.com%2Fchat%2520trace%2520%3D%2520false%253C%2Fpre">Verify the Result
You'll see the following output −
