Masqueraide is an AI/Bot library that is designed to run on social networks. Masqueraide works by having two concepts called 'Rooms' and 'Engines'. Social networks are 'Rooms', and the underlying NLP (Natrual Language Processing) algorithms are the 'Engines'.

In the near future, Masqueraide will have plugin support, more NLP engines and more social networks.

This library was part of a group project to make as if the AI/Bot is able to pass the Turing Test proposed by Alan Turing in 1950.

By default, Masqueraide utilises & builds on top of the excellent twitter_ebooks framework by @mispy.

• ruby
• bundler
• aspell (This might change in the future.)

If you're on Linux, first get masqueraide's depedencies:

[sudo] apt-get update -qq
[sudo] apt-get install -qq aspell libaspell-dev aspell-en aspell-el aspell-nl
# Assuming that ruby is installed
[sudo] gem install bundler

Then, if you have bundler installed, run:

git clone https://github.com/hako/masqueraide

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or

Add this line to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'masqueraide'

And then execute:

$ bundle

Or install it yourself as:

$ gem install masqueraide

The following example below is for a standard twitter bot.

There are two ways to dance:

A block.

require 'masqueraide'

# Create a new bot with a name.
bot = Masqueraide::AI.new('Bot')

# Before your bot can generate responses, it needs a dataset to learn from.
bot.learn_from_dataset path_to_dataset

# You can assign your bot a room, by default the 'Twitter Room' is selected.
bot.assign_room :twitter

# An example Bot configuration.
# This configures the bot's actions for the chosen room.
# In this case, this is the configuration for the 'Twitter Room'
bot.room.configure do |config|
  config.consumer_key = ''
  config.consumer_secret = ''
  config.access_token = ''
  config.access_token_secret = ''
end

# Dance. (Starts the bot)
bot.dance

A class.

require 'masqueraide'

# An example Bot class.
# This configures your bot's actions in the 'Twitter Room'
class BotClass < Masqueraide::Room::Twitter
  def configure
    self.consumer_key = ''
    self.consumer_secret = ''
    self.access_token = ''
    self.access_token_secret = ''
  end

  def on_startup
    scheduler.every '1m' do
      tweet(ai('twitter_handle').say(130))
    end
  end
end

# Create a new bot for the chosen room, in this case the 'Twitter Room'
# Each room may require additional parameters. The bot is tied a twitter handle.
bot = Masqueraide::AI.new('Bot', Bot.new('twitter_handle'))

# Before your bot can generate responses, it needs a dataset to learn from.
bot.learn_from_dataset path_to_dataset

# Dance. (Starts the bot)
bot.dance

Masqueraide supports the current social networks below:

• Twitter (By using twitter_ebooks)
• Snapchat

Some social networks that might be supported in the future depending on the size of the userbase and popularity.

• Facebook Messenger
• Instagram
• Telegram
• Kik
• Skype
• GroupMe
• Yik Yak
• Your own????

You can create your own 'room' by creating a class under Masqueraide::Room and assigning your AI to that room.

Example bots are in the examples folder.

NLP related helper functions are available under Masqueraide::NLP

After checking out the repo using git, cd into the masqueraide directory and run bundler.
