Bots

Anybody here play around with these things?

They seem quite fun and I'm exploring it a bit.

Which communicator do you use?
Telegram / Slack?

Yea, I've been dangling in some Python and redis by coding a few bots for some slack groups I partake in, proper fun.

Telegram for home automation messages

nice!

Found this, free api that you can add to help hold a conversation.
Dialogflow has been bought out by Google

Funny thing though, once I connected them they seemed to completely hijack my bot
as I couldn't pass my instructions from .NET through anymore (even after disabling dialogflow)

Looking at adding Watson instead to hold conversations

I have created a few Telegram bots, haven't gotten into the whole slack thing yet. Telegram Bots are very handy, as they come in a familiar environment. #telegramftw

I've worked on both now, got mostly the same functions right and both...far prefer Telegram
but Slack is more popular.
