I just wanted to know if lispworks personal edition will be sufficient to
do a project regarding discovery in AI. 
What is the difference between xlisp and common lisp?

Depends. LispWorks Personal has a limited heap size and shuts itself 
down after five hours. If your search space is large and it takes a lot 
of time for your algorithm to run, then it might be not sufficient.

These are two different Lisp dialects. IIRC, xlisp isn't supported 
anymore, so if you start a new project you should choose Common Lisp. 
However, you should check this against your actual requirements.
