The Coderplex Bot

Coderplex Bot

Coderplex Bot uses basic AI to track all the messages that are exchanged in our community chatroom, and uses this information as a input to evaluate the expertise and helpfulness of each member in our community, awarding them points accordingly on their profile.

coderplex-bot's Issues

Welcome message in #general or #introductions room

We should have a welcome message in the #general or #introductions room, along with the DM we are currently sending to newly joined members. Since Discord already makes an announcement when someone joins, we could have our welcome message in the #introductions room perhaps.

Also, we need to tell people that if they wanna stay connected, they should download the mobile app for Discord. A lot of people are joining, but are not coming back because,

1. They don't have anything to remind them to come back
2. The value they might receive by staying connected is not explicit

Share event links in discord

The bot should make use of meetup.com's API to automatically share new events from coderplex to the chatroom.

Share guides quickly

When anyone says !guide <guide_name>, the bot should share the relevant link to the guides in the channel.
