Element what ?!
"element" is the generic name for several things. With the Ysalaya Software you can create chatbot, game, story, teaching material, interactive messages and exotic bot. All these creations are called "element".

Examples: David is a chatbot. It can talk in English. David is the element. You send an interactive message to Lucy in French. The message is the element. French is the language. [top]

Element & language
In the real life, when Mikao talk with David in English. David is different from the English language. It is the same with the Ysalaya Technology, when John dialogs with the David chatbot in English. David is the element and English is the language.

The element is different from the language. The element is linked to the language by the creator of the element. The language has a great influence in the interactive conversation. [top]

Element content
Imagine you want to create a chatbot about David. David is the element. You enter some information on David, like "my name is David" "I like cats". The information are sentences. They are linked to the topic called "David".

David
   my name is David
   I like cats
topic
   sentence 1
   sentence 2 [top]

Topics
You are creating a chatbot on David. It can chat on itself, "David" and also on the "cat" and on "Lucy". "David", "cat" and "Lucy" are the tree topics of the David element.

David
   my name is David
   I like cats
cat
   it is funny
   white and black
Lucy
   Lucy is my girl friend
   she is very nice

Sentences
This chatbot David knows some things about David.  These things are writen into sentences. Each sentence is linked to one or more topics. David and Lucy can both like cats in the chatbot.

David
   my name is David
   I like cats
Lucy
   my name is Lucy
   I like cats
topic 1
   sentence 1
   sentence 2
topic 2
   sentence 3
   sentence 2 [top]
Language choice
The language has a great influence in the dialog. If the user asks "do you like animals ?" the chatbot should answer "I like Cats". It can do that because the word "animal" is linked to the word "cat".

The creators are invited to imagine the question words to improve the chat. "dog" can be linked to "cat" then if the question is "do you have a dog ?" the answer may be "I like cats". If there no link between "dog" and "cat" in the language, the software will not invent it or find a good answer. There is no hard-coded word inside the software. [top]
