Inspiration

YellowPages challenge!

What it does

Twitter bot that replies to every request made to #HelloYP

How we built it

Using the twitter stream api, we subscribed to the #HelloYP to find the best results for the given query. We are using Yellow Pages Deals and Places APIs and Twitter Rest API to post status updates.

Challenges we ran into

Natural language processing is very difficult to implement. There are so many cases and exceptions to deal with.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

FInally submitting a project!!

What we learned

Web sockets and working with multiple APIs in order to build a complex and complete bot.
