Is there any type of software that I can use to build an expert system or wizard? Mac or PC.
At work we have a really complicated procedure. I'd like to develop something like TurboTax... a wizard that would ask questions and then take you through the process.
What would be awesome would be a graphical user interface where I could drag boxes onto a palette, with the boxes representing nodes in a decision tree. I double click on the boxes to set the decision basis for that node. Some multiple choice stuff. Some string data entry. Then I connect it to other nodes which are visited based on what the user selects. As the user progresses through, the data is built up just like TurboTax does with data for tax forms.
I'd rather not have to do all of the structure in a straight language like Visual Basic or whatever...
Maybe some type of analog coomputer simulator or something...
