Sample Interaction

The unique thing in tebot's source depends on hubot's redis-brain plugin, or the in-memory brain to save persistent information. Most hubot plugins only seem to answer single commands, but don't have a conversation with the user.

find me a team command starts a dialog between tebot and the user to build a database suitable for building teams at a Hack-a-Thon. Say "help" in a private message to tebot and read the full list of supported commands.

user1>> tebot find me a team
hubot>> (...)
user1>> tebot: i have an idea
hubot>> (...)
user1>> eating a whole wheel of cheese
hubot>> Ok, user1.  I have saved your idea.
user1>> tebot: list users
user1>> tebot: list ideas
user1>> tebot: list me
hubot>> (...)
user1>> tebot: unlist me
hubot>> (...)
