Mutters VS maxsond

There are two types of chatbots -- unreliable freeform ones (e.g. GPT-3) and reliable script-based ones (e.g. Alexa). I believe that what you're looking to do (dynamic rewriting) is moreso an active research topic!

The script-based chatbots are very similar to those in the 80s, with one major addition -- the options at each choice point are now "intents" instead of exact text (e.g. "the user intends to order a taxi"). Machine learning is then used to classify whatever the user says/writes as an "intent," then the script is followed to the next choice point.

See this open-source project for an example of using Ink to drive a script-based chatbot similar to Alexa: https://github.com/rabidgremlin/Mutters

Thanks! It's just a Github page, so you can see the source at https://github.com/maxsond/maxsond.github.io/

homepage.js is the translated Ink script after processing by inkjs (from Inkle)

ink.js is a bunch of Inkle magic

main.js has some custom choice behavior I wrote for things like opening browser tabs when you pick certain choices, as well as some other stuff.

I actually didn't commit the original Ink script to version control, and I'm kicking myself for that now.
