Dolores

Dolores is my personal assistant Discord bot.

The plan is to automate and make easy to access a variety of tasks like:

• Suggesting things to do next in work and personal environment.
• Fetch information (kids's grades, deals on Apple refurbished products, and more).
• Remind me of expiring tasks or old stuff I must clear out.

Installation

There are no installation options for now. We are targeting pip in later releases.

Usage

To run the bot, run the following:

dolores run

For help, run:

dolores --help

You can also use:

python -m dolores --help

Development

To contribute to this tool, first check out the code. Then, create a new virtual environment:

cd dolores
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate

Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:

pip install -e '.[test]'

To run the tests:

pytest

dolores's Issues

Schedule Trello card listing

I want to schedule the listing of the cards in a Trello list.

For example, I want to receive from Dolores:

• the list of in progress goals at 9 am in the morning
• the list of in progress problems, opportunity, and follow-up

Summary for my personal retrospective from Toggl

Send a summary using data from Toggl.

Possible sections:

• goals: total number of hours, list of individual tasks
• support: total and individual
• totals, breakdown on week days

Post a list of expiring cards

As a user, I want to know the cards with a due date in the following time buckets:

• past (overdue)
• next three days
• next week
• next two weeks

So I can act accordingly.

Send a recap when there's an event on the calendar

• Identify a "planning" calendar
• Every hour, Dolores checks the planning calendar and sends a recap of there's an event
• The event name is the area of responsibility

Can I schedule weekly tasks?

discord.py can schedule tasks at periodic time intervals, or at times in a day.

Can I schedule a task on a weekly basis, for example, every Monday at 9 pm?

Post recap on area specific channels (work, personal, professional, wellness, etc)

Instead of publishing all recaps to the same channel (#bots), partition scheduled recap message on different channels.
