Botwiki Updates #19

I had the opportunity to speak with Ash Hathaway, an IBM Watson Developer Cloud Product Manager, who likes to “think about machines that think”, check out the interview here!

And the date for the first ever Botwiki Edit-A-Thon has been confirmed for March 21, you can RSVP for the event on the Meetup.com page 🙂

Also, I asked the community: What exactly is a bot? Here’s what they had to say.

(Thanks everyone who participated in the survey!)

Lastly, today is the last day to submit your emoji-themed bot for the February’s Monthly Bot Challenge!

Bots, libraries and resources

Forbes created a Telegram newsbot
@tiny_bus_stop shows “tiny people waiting for the tiny bus at the tiny bus stop”
@unchartedatlas charts the “unknown lands”
@softlandscapes fills your Twitter feed with “soft landscapes”
@MulderHotTake is the X-Files Twitter bot you never knew you needed
and finally, @famousduos turns one of the most recent xkcd comics (which seems to be drawing inspiration from Twitter bots as of late) into a bot
