Welcome to the Jaseci course repository by University of Moratuwa and Jaseci, sponsored by BCS Technologies. This repository contains all the necessary materials, documents, and code examples needed for students and lecturers participating in the course. The folder structure is organized by major topics, with each folder containing relevant subfolders and documents.
This course aims to provide a comprehensive introduction to Jaseci, a powerful platform for building AI applications. By following the course structure and participating in hands-on activities, students will be able to quickly get up and running with Jaseci and start building their own AI applications.
- Introduction

- Provide an overview of the architecture and abstractions of Jaseci
- Installation
- Provide instructions for installing Jaseci on Windows, Mac, and Linux
- Explain how to set up your editor and install any necessary dependencies (Jac AI Kit and Graphviz)
- Interfacing with Jaseci
- Describe the three modes of interacting with Jaseci (Local JSCTL mode, remote JSCTL mode, and Jaseci Studios)
- Explain how to get started with each method
- Jaseci Quickstart
- Provide a step-by-step guide for writing your first Jaseci application
- Cover language basics, data types, control flow, input/output, and more
- Jaseci AI Kit
- Provide an overview of the NLP, speech, and miscellaneous AI features available in the Jaseci AI Kit
- Explain how to use specific features, such as text summarization, text segmentation, and clustering
- Codelabs and Guides
- Walk through building a conversational AI system using Jaseci
- Cover topics like preparing training data, creating custom action modules, and deploying your application
- Provide additional resources for learning the JAC language and Jaseci AI Kit
