AI Example Help

[Trevor Nelson]

Hello all,

For the first time in well... a very long time I am coming to a loss on where to really get started here on the project I wish to undertake to help me really get into Python programming.

A quick explanation of how I learn. I learn best with example working small code bits. With the code I then disect it to understand how each part works. (within "beginner" limits of course).


I have been looking around the web and google searching a whole lot the past week about and really have not had much luck on what I am needing / that is really helpful. So, I am here to beg/plead for some help on this.

My end game goal is to create a "hybrid" chat bot. Such as that you can ask it questions and talk to it etc. Such as asking "What's the server's current load?". I found out I could do that with the HOWIE bot I have been playing with. But, I am looking to build up a more "AI" system where instead of me asking all the questions, the bot can yell at me and say " HEY THE SERVER IS OUT OF RESOURCES".


Further developement will lead to a FAQ style bot as well. Such as that where I can ask them things like (for a very basic example, what is a 404 error?), or even (what is causing a 500 ISE on the site? [by having it read the logs and tell me what the logs say for the site])


These are just the basics to help me get started. As I get more advanced and better at this, I would like to be able to have it crawl sites and learn different informain. Something as far fetched and I consider a "dream" would be it crawling the cpanel forums and gathering up the responses to questions so that I could query it as well.


So, as I really, really, hate to have to ask. Does anyone have any example coding in what my basic needs are? As I feel that working off the HOWIE bot won't turn out to what I am wanting and then I will end up wasting a whole lot of time going in the wrong direction. Which is also why I am here


TL;DR
I really would truely appreciate and example coding of how to put together an initial basic "AI" bot where it can monitor the system and tell me alerts as with being able to query it for questions. As with I am looking for some sort of time efficient way for it to gather it's own data. As otherwise all the information I would have to manually put in would be extreme.


I greatly appreciate any help you guys can prodive me with to help me get started. Before you assume I want everyone to do all the work for me, it's not the case. It's just that I learn best/faster from example code.
Also, I am thinking of going with python 2.7 for this since it seems all the documentation I run into isn't for the 3.x Python.


Thank you so much anyone who can help me. Also, if you are someone who actually knows how to do everything I have mentioned, I would even ben willing to hire a "tutor" to teach me these things.
