Hello! I’m fairly new to coding and making chatbots. I started my first chatbot on pandorabots, and i’ve been trying to experiment with putting my bot on a website I want to make, but I cant seem to figure out how?? The old pandorabot way to embed the bot doesn’t work for me, and the new way seems to cost money (I cant really find anything on the new way, so if i’m wrong please inform me). I started making the website in basic html, so its nothing complicated. I’ve tried getting the bot to work in visual studio with the aiml files, but i’m honestly not getting any where. I’ve read about converters that convert aiml to JavaScript, but I cant download much since i’m not using my own computer. Any tips or help is appreciated ^^

Hi, Creed, and welcome to chatbots.org!

Since you’re familiar with Pandorabots already, you’re probably best off using their API, rather than embedding their bot into a page. The documentation for the Pandorabots API can be found here.

I hope this helps. If you have any questions that I might be able to answer (I’m not a Pandorabots guru by any stretch of the imagination, but I’m a pretty good web developer), please don’t hesitate to ask.

Creed - here is an example of one I did, if you want to check out the page source for inspiration.

I did it using an iframe to the custom HTML file I wrote over at http://www.pandorabots.com

Do you mean the RiveScript converter to JavaScript?

Why we can’t using aiml language without pandorabots?? Is not free or hard??

You can use AIML without Pandorabots. There are many open source interpreters like Program O or Program AB but as Pandorabots do all the work in setting up the interpreter and allowing your bot to be deployed to multiple platforms such as Kik, Telegram, Facebook messenger etc, over 250,000 developers have found that the easier method.

In fact, I’m facing some difficulties I’m such this friend is forced use this language in my computer I downloaded the program-ab but what’s next??

I’m a little confused, and I don’t know how I write my question, but I want to use this language with all programming languages and applications, web or mobile, I searched in Google and I found vague explanations and some of them asked help and I browsed pandorabot docs

I don’t know where I go… what’s your direction?? I’m very tired

I downloaded program-ab in the past
