1 - Bot Libre supports labels. A label lets you name a response and then reuse it just using the name. You can set the label for a response from the Training & Chat Logs page, or in a response list file. To reference a label just put the label name as the response i.e. #hello (labels must start with a #).
See, http://www.botlibre.com/forum-post?id=12117061
Hello
Hello, how may I be of service?
label: #hello
Hi
#hello
How is it going?
#hello
You can also use AIML or Self SRAI redirects in a response, or in a response list file. Labels are simpler and more efficient than AIML SRAI redirects as they are just an indexed reference to the response, and do not require a recursive evaluation.
You can use Patterns, Formulas, and even AIML in a response list file.
Hello
Hello, how may I be of service?
Pattern:"^ hello ^"
Formula:"{redirect "hello"}"
<pattern>^ hello ^</pattern>
<template><srai>hello</srai></template>
2 - Topics set the topic of the conversation. If a topic has been set on the conversation, responses that have the same topic will take precedence over other responses. The topic can also be used inside AIML or Self scripts.

3 - Keywords are space separated, not comma. Keywords will match a question if it has any of the keywords. You can add keywords that are not in the original question to match other questions with the keyword. To match a specific set of words use required words. To match a sequence of words you can use a pattern.
See,

Hello, how may I be of service?
