Introduction to GeneralBots

GeneralBots is an open-source bot platform that enables users to create, deploy, and manage conversational AI applications using a simple BASIC-like scripting language. The platform provides a comprehensive ecosystem for building intelligent chatbots with knowledge base integration, tool calling, and multi-channel support.

What is GeneralBots?

GeneralBots allows users to create sophisticated bot applications without extensive programming knowledge. The system uses a package-based architecture where each component serves a specific purpose:

  • .gbai - Application architecture and structure
  • .gbdialog - Conversation scripts and dialog flows
  • .gbkb - Knowledge base collections for contextual information
  • .gbot - Bot configuration and parameters
  • .gbtheme - UI theming and customization
  • .gbdrive - File storage and management
  • Authentication - Secure user and bot identity verification

Key Features

  • BASIC Scripting: Simple, English-like syntax for creating bot dialogs
  • Vector Database: Semantic search and knowledge retrieval using Qdrant
  • Multi-Channel: Support for web, voice, and messaging platforms
  • Tool Integration: Extensible tool system for external API calls
  • Automation: Scheduled tasks and event-driven triggers
  • Theming: Customizable UI with CSS and HTML templates
  • Security: Argon2 password hashing, session tokens, and bot authentication

How It Works

GeneralBots processes user messages through a combination of:

  1. Dialog Scripts (.gbdialog files) that define conversation flow
  2. Knowledge Base (.gbkb collections) that provide contextual information
  3. Tools that extend bot capabilities with external functionality
  4. LLM Integration for intelligent response generation

The platform manages authenticated sessions, maintains secure conversation history, and provides a consistent experience across different communication channels. All user credentials are securely hashed and sessions are protected with unique tokens.
