Bot Project

Bots! (Due Oct 10)

Create a bot. For the purposes of this class, I'm defining a bot as "a computer program which conducts a conversation via auditory or textual methods." This can be applied very broadly, that conversation can be one-sided, two-sided, multi-sided, and it's optional whether there are humans involved at all! The recommended platform for the course is Mastodon but you are welcome to experiment with any social media platform, service, conversational interface, hardware, website, sms system, etc. as you see fit!
