AIML is an XML-based language for creating conversational agents and allows human-computer dialogue. It consists of tags and texts that define categories with patterns and templates to match user input and determine the response. The language provides tags like <that>, <topic>, and <srai> to handle context and unexpected inputs, and it can be used to build chatbots, virtual assistants, and tools to assist with language learning through conversation.
