🤖 A slack bot for Udacity course. Delivers all the required information at one place.

Online-Course-Bot

A Slack Bot that uses slash commands to get quick summary of topics from wikipedia.

The bot can be accessed on my personal workspace here.

Current status

• Responds to 1 slash command - “/define”. The result includes a definition of the queried term and any udacity forum posts (from Bertelsmann Data Science Challenge Scholarship Course) related to the queried term.

Future scope and ideas

• Integrate results from Airtable (either as a separate query or together with /define query or both)

• Integrate scholar_resources (if any scholar has written a blog, video or anything during the course) and return them in the query result (again separate query or integrated or both).

• Add data analysis - which topics are questioned the most, which subject (statistics, python or sql) is questioned the most etc.

• Open to ideas (add in issues).

Benefit to the community

• Those who have no experience with such stuff can learn from the project (flask app development, heroku deployment, slack bot, database, github, web scraping, etc).

• The project uses Python and SQL - both taught in the course [Bertelsmann Data Science Challenge Scholarship Course]. We can apply the knowledge here. Can integrate Statistics (through data analysis) as well.

online-course-bot's Issues

Add bot to slack marketplace

Currently, the bot is available on my personal slack workspace. Anyone who needs to access the bot needs to join my workspace. Adding the bot to the slack marketplace will be a good solution. I couldn't figure out how to add the bot on the marketplace though.
