It’s really simple to build your own alice chat bot by using agsXMPP and AIMLBot.The following sections is my quick and dirty tour on how to do it(You should know how to use agsXMPP and AIMLBot first):

After downloading and compiling the agsXMPP and AIMLBot,add them as References to your bot project:

Initialize AIMLBot :

AIMLbot.Bot myBot = new AIMLbot.Bot();
myBot.loadSettings();
myBot.loadAIMLFromFiles();

Response chat message in XmppClientConnection’s OnMessage Event:

AIMLbot.Request request = new Request(msg.Body, GetUser(msg.From.Bare), myBot);
AIMLbot.Result reply = myBot.Chat(request);
agsXMPP.protocol.client.Message replyMsg = new agsXMPP.protocol.client.Message();
replyMsg.Type = MessageType.chat;
replyMsg.To = msg.From;
replyMsg.Body = reply.Output; 

XmppCon.Send(replyMsg); 

a simple implementation of GetUser:

protected AIMLbot.User GetUser(String jid)
{
   Hashtable myHash = Hashtable.Synchronized(userSessions);
   AIMLbot.User user = (AIMLbot.User)myHash[jid];
   if (user == null)
   {
       user = new AIMLbot.User(jid, myBot);
       myHash[jid] = user;
   }
   return user;
} 

that’s all,it’s really easy and simple,huh?
