![]() ResourcesĪ few (Slack biased - we just love their API) resources to help you get started if you're really stuck! Submission deadline: 1st of December 23:59:59 CET. The solution must be original and working Python code, so please include install instructions so we can easily test it out. It must be your own code which you developed during this challenge, be cool, no shortcuts. bots are cool, specially in Python + PR'd to PyBites, the more the merrier, but the best submission gets the book, regardless the number of PRs :) There must be at least 5 PRs submitted for this challenge (excluding Bob/Julian), otherwise it is not a competition. Not convinced yet? OK, we will personally send a copy of Designing Bots: Creating Conversational Experiences to the coolest PR (voting to be done by us and our Slack community). ![]() Unless of course you also create a T-800 Model Terminator, then it's okay. On that note you will lose points if you create Skynet. How about a bot that takes a command and uses another API? Eg: A specific event or command will tell your bot to tweet something.Ĭan you leverage AI (artificial intelligence), NLP (natural language processing) and/or ML (machine learning) technologies? Watch out though ) Penalty If you've conquered bots already, consider adding further functionality to your bot. Those are a few examples, as with any programming task, think about opportunities to automate boring stuff, pain points, where businesses fail and start designing a solution. How can you add value to these platforms? Business best practice: doing 5 minute callbacks whenever you get a new lead. Think about making a bot for your favorite messenger service: Whatsapp, Telegram, Signal etc. ![]() Need inspiration? See Mike Yusko's Bot-Chucky which interacts with various other services.Ī monitoring bot that reports changes in the weather or stock/share prices and posts them to say Twitter - Twitter bots are pretty easy to build. Or have it auto-post new items of your blog feed to a group or page, watching for reactions or comments. Make a Facebook Messenger bot that responds to specific customer/user requests. We built a karmabot and when it goes offline we get anxious :) You can build an interface to have a bot respond to commands, or even learn from conversations. Stretch yourself, wow your colleagues and friends, this is a cool skill to add to your toolkit.Ĭreate a Slack bot that automates a boring task: help scheduling your team lunch, or meetings like Amy does (although we really hope you are on a maker's schedule). The aim here is to have a functioning bot written in Python. We even happily buy a book on chatbots for the Pythonista with the most original submission (and no, bots won't vote for it, PyBites humans will!) The Challenge ![]() They're everywhere these days and will play an important role how we work and communicate in the near future! It's about time we go our bot on as well! Hi Pythonistas, it's incredible to think how quickly bots have grown in popularity. It's not that I'm so smart, it's just that I stay with problems longer. ![]()
