Moringa

Moringa is a hybrid conversational AI platform that pairs the reliability of rule-based logic with the flexibility of modern AI. When a pattern matches exactly you get a predictable, debuggable response; when it doesn't, optional AI steps in to help. You can run it with local AI, cloud AI, or no AI at all.

Highlights

• Hybrid intelligence. A deterministic rule core gives responses you can trust and debug, while optional AI enhancement improves fuzzy matching and development speed.
• MoringaScript. A readable scripting language for bots: priority-based recognizers, rich typed variables with transformations, conditional logic, contexts, and state-machine conversation flows.
• Visual development studio. A web-based IDE with real-time chat testing, live script validation, and an AI assistant that generates patterns from natural-language descriptions.
• Your choice of AI. Local, privacy-first models via Ollama (Llama, Gemma, CodeLlama), or cloud models including OpenAI GPT-4 and Anthropic Claude.
• Plugin architecture. Extend bots with custom actions and integrations, and wire them to external systems through a REST API.
• Production ready. Docker deployment, a built-in testing framework, session management, and no external database dependency.

A taste

recognizer "hello" priority=10
    say "Hi there! How can I help you?"

recognizer "my name is [name]" priority=8
    remember "user name is [name|title_case]" type="string" scope="session"
    say "Nice to meet you, [name|title_case]!"

Installation
