## QiChat

qiChat is the language used to write Dialog Topic boxes.

For further details see: QiChat.

## Default script

By default, when you create a box its script looks as follows:

The topic name is created using the name you gave to the box, and the language is the one you have selected during box creation.

## Adding rules

To add rules, see the syntax here: QiChat - Syntax.

You can also pick chunk of code using the auto-completion tool: use Ctrl-Space to display it.

Note that when a long name is splitted by slashes / (like `$Device/SubDeviceList/Battery/Current/Sensor/Value`), the auto-completion tool allows you select it chunk by chunk.

## Getting started

Follow step by step the tutorials: Creating Dialog boxes.
