NAME
megahal, megahal-personal - chat with megahal
SYNOPSIS
megahal
megahal-personal
DESCRIPTION
megahal is a conversation simulator. It differs from conversation simulators such as Eliza in that it uses a Markov Model to learn how to hold a conversation. It is possible to teach MegaHAL to talk about new topics, and in different languages. megahal-personal is a variant of megahal that saves its state files in ~/.megahal/ when it exits. This lets each user have their own personal megahal.
OPTIONS
- --no-prompt, -p
-
Do not display prompt when asking user for input. This is a debian-specific modification, and is useful mainly if you want to interface megahal to another program.
- --no-wrap, -w
-
Do not word-wrap text megahal outputs. This is a debian-specific modification, and is useful mainly if you want to interface megahal to another program.
- --no-banner, -b
-
Suppress the startup banner. This is a debian-specific modification, and is useful mainly if you want to interface megahal to another program.
WARNING
MegaHAL allows multiple lines to form a single input. Thus a single newline character is parsed as any other token and MegaHAL can output replies consisting of multiple lines. To end an input, you need to type enter twice.
