RE: Let's build a chatbot together, introduction to bots
Nice start! but not really a "Steemit" bot. Seems more like a hardcode bot. Why? because it is closed to certain actions and it is not currently parsing data from the Steem blockchain. For example, if I ask current price of the token or something about an user in the blockchain, the bot should not be able to tell this information. However, it can be done by implementing a server side to parse this kind of information and maybe a neural network to make the bot learning about its users. So, it can sounds more natural and can learn over the time.
You have a good point, the title could be slightly misleading due to you being able to build bots on top of the blockchain, I will make an adjustment to the title.
You're right though, this bot could be easily adjusted to understand those question those questions related to users or the prices of steem through integrating with the steem API/a currency API (I haven't looked at docs but assume it's all available due to the apps being built on it). I only really wanted to give an introduction to bots in this post because as soon as you start mentioning code some users will lose interest and thought it would still be useful. My hope is that I can do more and more and show people how to build more advanced bots :)
As I said, nice start man! I got your point and your intentions are really good! keep it up! Also, why should users be scared about code? 🙃 I will be following up your steemit chat bot :) So, for the next one include a unique tag so I can easily follow it :)
