Wapuu Slack Bot

Introducing our very own Wapuu Bot beta

WordCamp Miami’s official slack bot is @wapuu. @wapuu uses Slack’s API to respond to messages when his name is mentioned and also listens in on the public channel for certain important phrases like different kinds of coffee.

@wapuu is a Node/Express Javascript app which uses the botkit framework by Howdy.ai as well as a natural language processing AI services provided by Microsoft Cognitive Services called LUIS.ai. WordCamp Miami sessions, speakers and sponsors are pulled from the website using the WordPress REST API.

Here are some helpful and not so helpful things that @wapuu can do.

Unless otherwise noted you need to mention @wapuu in your message in order to get a response. But under some circumstances @wapuu will just respond to public messages.
