Inspiration
Our moms and we all use discord so we know the communities that use it and that their physical fitness might benefit from this bot.
What it does
Mommy-bot reminds you to do other activities during a discord session such as going outside, exercise, drink water, eat healthy, etc. along with words of encouragement every 10 messages sent (counts for specific users rather than the whole channel's messages. It also responds to greetings and other basic phrases, and reprimands users for cursing.
How we built it
We applied our previous knowledge of python and YouTube videos from last year’s pickhacks to code Mommy-bot.
Challenges we ran into
Our first project idea was to create an a physical wellness app. However, while creating it, we realized it was too time consuming and difficult to do given our constraints. We decided to pivot to creating a Discord bot, which was a more attainable goal that still allowed us to further our coding knowledge.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Creating a successful bot within a time constraint. At times, we weren't sure if we would be able to finish on time given our limited knowledge.
What we learned
How to create a discord bot.
What's next for Mommy Bot
We hope to continue to improve her so that she sends reminders based on a timer rather than by number of messages and by allowing her to give advice to users and thus making her more interactive.
