Monthly Bot Challenge

The results for January’s Monthly Bot Challenge are in! Congratulations to the winners — and thanks to everyone who participated!

And as a reminder, there are still three weeks to join the February’s emoji-themed challenge!

finally, I made a new bot — it tweets emoji polls, once every hour
@qz made a Twitter bot that tweets out ER injuries logged from a national dataset
@BrailleBot posts messages in braille
@CrazyPoshCook suggests “crazy neural network hallucinating menus and dishes”
the MET Slack bot provides one random piece of art at a time
@MakeUSABotAgain has a bunch of new US president candidates for you to choose from
and here’s an extra candidate, Watson
slack-market shows stock market quotes in your Slack team (and it’s open source)
the NYT Election Slack bot will send your questions about the US president election straight to the newsroom (you can install it here or try it directly in the Botmakers.org Slack group)
Pedro lets you reward folks in your Slack group with (digital) tacos
@fbchess is a Facebook Messenger bot that lets you play chess
and @thetinygallery set a pretty high bar for this month’s emoji-themed bot challenge!
