Alicebot and AIML Software Implementations
The AI Foundation and our community has three open source free software "products"
1. The specification of the AIML language itself.
2. Various free software interpreters that implement (1).
3. The contents of the ALICE brain written in AIML (and other free AIML sets that exist).
A fourth category, related to (2), are tools and add-ons that enhance the quality of the AIML interpreters.
From this page you can navigate to Alicebot engine implementations, AIML knowledge bases, and AIML tools. You can also look into the Alice Family Crypt;
old, unsupported, but still fascinating implementations of the Alicebot and AIML technologies. Please let us know if there is an Alicebot or AIML technology not listed here.
People are free to develop AIML interpreters and content under any license they wish, including proprietary ones. There are many free open source products listed here. But, obviously, there are also projects like Pandorabots that are non-free, non-GNU implementations of AIML and that's cool too.
