The ALICE software implements AIML (Artificial Intelligence Markup


Language) a non-standard evolving markup language for creating chat robots.


The primary design feature of AIML is minimalism. Compared with


other chat robot languages, AIML is perhaps the simplest. The


pattern matching language is very simple, for example permitting


only one wild-card ('*') match character per pattern.





AIML is an XML language, implying that it obeys certain grammatical


meta-rules. The choice of XML syntax permits integration with


other tools such as XML editors. Another motivation for XML is


its familiar look and feel, especially to people with HTML experience.





An AIML chat robot begins and ends with the and


tags respectively.
