This is the first rule that is fired when someone talks to your bot.
Also take note of the output in this rule:
[_vo_startup:Hi.]
This is using a variable named "_vo_startup" with a default value of "Hi.", every output in the MyAnswers.vkb KnowledgeBase corresponds to a form in the MyAnswers page on Verbots Online.

The _vo_startup variable is replaced by the value that you have entered in the field labeled "Startup" on your MyAnswers page when signed into Verbots Online.
