Albert is a simple markov chain chat bot. It can be run in an interactive mode or as an IRC bot.

In the interactive mode, you need to supply a path to the training text, from which Albert will generate his replies.

In the IRC mode, you need to supply a channel name and the owner's nickname. Only the owner can tell Albert to quit, with the command !quit. Albert learns all the messages he receives, or sees on the IRC channel, but replies only to those containing his nickname.

Note: The package also contains the War and Peace book by Leo Tolstoy, which can be used as the training text.
