What is AIMarkdown Script?

AIMarkdown Script is a versatile language for scripting dynamic interactions with conversational AI platforms like ChatGPT. It empowers users to script interactions, control conversation flow, and customize AI behavior and responses. Offering the flexibility of a scripting language for programmers and a user-friendly interface for non-programmers, it enables the creation of custom AI experiences with ease.

Created by Rob McCormack in 2023, AIMarkdown Script combines YAML and Markdown with natural language instructions to guide AI behavior. YAML is a human-readable data serialization language, designed for easy configuration and integration within a variety of programming environments, emphasizing simplicity and flexibility. Markdown is a lightweight markup language that enables the straightforward formatting of text on the web. This approach not only makes script creation accessible but also allows for intricate customizations without the constraints of traditional programming languages.
