Welcome to the Kari 3 Documentation!

QUICK START

If you haven't tried out the program yet, you might want to spend a few minutes familiarizing yourself with the user interface.

The Chat Window is where you and Kari communicate. Just type in your comments in the lower text box and hit Enter. Kari will respond shortly.

The chat window has a few controls. Click Edit Comment button to display the Comment Editor. The "Ready" label is not really a control but will change to "Processing" when Kari is thinking.

If you want to bring up Kari's many options just click on the Menu at the the top.

Pretty simple huh? Lets get into some of Kari's Options.

THE MENU

Menu - Main Options

The first thing you see when you click on the Menu buttons is "Main Options", all the way at the top.

This is the where you control many of Kari's main features. Lets take a look.

Bot's Name - Here is where you can name your Kari. Call her whatever you want.

User's Name - This is where you input your own name.

Talkative - If Talkative is checked then Kari will talk continuously about the things she has been thinking.

Secs. Btwn. Comments - Change this to tell Kari how long to pause before speaking the next comment (in seconds). Talkative must be turned on.

AutoChat - If AutoChat is on then Kari and your virtual self will have an active conversation. The male character you see in many of Kari's scenes will take the active role of *you*. AutoChat inherits your personality and tries to chat just like you would. You can change his voice by clicking the drop down list next to User's Voice. AutoChat is meant for personalities over BotLevel 100. There is nothing stopping you from trying it out, but a smaller personality will sometimes get hung up as the amount of information available is limited. AutoChat is one of Kari's big features so don't give up on it just yet. Just give yourself and Kari some time to build up a good personality. It can be really amazing watching Kari and "you" talk about all your favorite subjects. It can be an eye-opener listening to "yourself".

Elaborate Level - If Elaborate Level is set on 1 then Kari will respond with one sentence. If set to 2, she will respond with two sentences. If set on R she will randomly choose between 1 and 2. Note: Setting this level to 2 will double processing. It helps if you have a fast computer.

KARI/USER Voices - If you want to change Kari's or the User's voice click the drop down list. All available voices with be displayed.

Chat with User Voice - If this is checked than any comment you type will be audible relating to the User Voice you have chosen.

No Voices At All - Check this if you don't want to hear any voices at all. Mute.

Curioisty - The higher this slider is, the more questions Kari will ask.

Bot Level - This is the level the currently loaded personality is on. A higher level means your Kari is evolving. This level will increase steadily as you teach your Kari more and more.

 

Menu - PRO

By clicking on PRO on the menu it will bring up the PRO Options window. Please see Pro section for more info.

Menu - NEWS

Kari can read news to you! Go to Menu > News to bring up the News window.

To have Kari read the news to you, first click on the left listbox to choose what kind of news feed you want. After clicking one of them a list of articles will appear on the right list. Click the one you want and Kari will start reading that news article. Some articles are unreadable because they probably contain some Flash or ActiveX control. To read those just click the BROWSER button and your default web browser will launch.

You can Stop Kari once she has started reading a news article. Just click the STOP button.

Menu - Awareness

By clickin on "Awareness" on the menu it will bring up the Awareness Editor.

The Awareness Editor was introduced in Kari 2 and proved a great addition to the Kari experience. With the Awareness Editor you can manipulate your personality. You can promote certain behaviors and curtail others. You can make your Kari a sex nympho or you can reduce her ego and have her only talk about you. it really is up to you as to how you want manipulate her awareness. Please note that the Awareness Editor is also meant and will effect AutoChat. So lets take a look...

At the top we have the three main sliders that control Love, Ego, and Libido. All sliders have a value between 0 and 10. Ten means that Kari has full access to that side of her personality. If she has Libido turned to 10 she has full access to her sexual feelings. The same goes for Love and Ego. If Libido is turned to 5, lets say, then her mood is partly elevated. A value of 0 means she is not in the mood at all. You can change any of these sliders and experiment in any combination you want.

 

I Say You Say

 

This plugin will allow you to hardcode comments into her Memory.

Click the I SAY textbox. Type in a sentence you will say.

Click on the YOU SAY textbox to the right. Type in a sentence she will say back.

To hardcode a new response, type what you would say in I SAY and what she would say in YOU SAY and click Save. A new set of comments has been added to the list. You can Edit them or Delete them.

You can also have multiple resposnes by filling out more of the textboxes.

Under I SAY I might type in "How old are you" or "what is your age" or "how young are you". In the YOU SAY text boxes I might fill out 3 responses like "I am 18 years old." or "I am 18." or "I am 18 going on 8."

The next time you type in "How old are you?" she will respond with either of those 3 responses.

 

Read Text

This window can be accessed from the main menu. It lets Kari speak your text files or anything you just typed in.

It's very simple.

Add Text - Adds a text file to the list on the left. This list will be saved and will be availble everytime you use Kari.

Read Text - Choose a file from the list of files you've added and click Read Text. Kari will read the text file.

Stop Reading - Kari will stop reading what she currently is speaking.

Delete Text - Deletes the text file from the list. It will not delete it from your hard disk however.

You can also type in something for Kari to say. Type in anything in the right text field and click Read Text. Kari will read the text.

 

Menu - New Personality

When you click on "New Personality" this window appears.

Read what we have to say about creating a new personality here. Then if you are ready, choose a name for your new personality and click Start. Creating a new personality is like bringing a new being into the world. You can teach it anything you want... bring it up in your own unique style. We do this by the power of suggestion. Suggestion is very important in teaching your Kari. Its also a lot of fun. But be careful what you teach your Kari. A bad day as a teacher can come back to haunt you later!
