We want to create tools and best practices that will enable a thousand bots to bloom. Botkit takes care of all the nitty gritty details of APIs connections and messaging protocols and gives developers tools mapped to how real people communicate like hearing things and holding conversations. We can't wait to see what kind of bots people create!
@benbrown dudeee!! congrats! I remember talking about this when we were at Betaworks Notifications Summit. Wow! Great to see it live :) all the support and love from Slash!
@chrisamccoy I think it's safe to use something that was designed as platform agnostic, like hubot instead of going for something that specific and hope they will enable it for other messaging services.
@chrisamccoy Eventually, we'd love to branch out and enable bots for all kinds of messaging platforms. Right now, our small team is very focused on the Slack platform. Aside from supporting Botkit, we are also working on Howdy, our bot coworker for Slack teams!
@benbrown@esoelzer - With the announcement of the Slack Fund and Slack App Directory do you think you'll be reconsidering launching Slack Wiki? Or perhaps there is a way I can build Slack Wiki with the help of Botkit?
So happy but so annoyed. Starting making my own thinking it wasn't out there and then found yours ! Thank you for making it :) Now to figure out what I can do with mine.
