Bonsai is the extensible AI system used in Mike Kreuzer games. Bonsai uses scripts that gamers can modify using any text editor. The name Bonsai comes from good (Bon), Scripted AI (SAI). The system shares smallness with the method of cultivating artificially small potted plants, and over time will get even better.

More information is available on the Bonsai web page.
