  Running on Workspace

Inspiration

Never tried making a chat bot before so I decided to try it out

What it does

Basic functionality involves creating a bot first using tools on the slack and obtaining the required tokens for the connection. Then the bot can be started with node.js on the desktop, resulting in the bot being able to give responses with @Rolf on the slack workspace that it has been installed into. (Example of workspace: https://botpracticeglobal.slack.com/messages/CCUEMDBEH/)

How I built it

Downloaded Node.js and created a slack account using these links: https://nodejs.org/en/ https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/115005265703-Create-a-bot-for-your-workspace

Challenges I ran into

Since this was my first time creating a chat bot, I would make simple errors in trying to get output from the chatbot in response to user messages on the slack.

Accomplishments that I'm proud of

I believe I did a nice job as the code is understandable and can be worked off from

What I learned

I learned about the various uses of chatbots from economic to personal use

What's next for RolfBot

May try adding more responses should I have the time
