Bot Booker

Chat bot that makes booking and keeping track of appointments easy

Comment

Inspiration

Not knowing when is a good time to get a hair cut.

What it does

Removes the friction of maintenance and setting up of a booking system for small businesses that cannot afford electronic booking systems

How we built it

Chatbot using FB Messenger API + Frontend Client dashboard built using Angular 1.5x

Challenges we ran into

Defining our problem and use cases, pivoting between ideas, backend integration between chatbot + dashboard

Accomplishments that we're proud of

  • Learning how to make a chatbot on messenger (none of us have done so before)
  • Joey's first hackathon!

What we learned

  • Integrating backend APIs for both chatbot and dashboard
  • FB has poor documentation, and we had to think outside of the box to work around some of the bugs the messenger api ran into with our app
  • Teamwork + motivating each other in a fast paced environment

What's next for Bot Booker

  • Tidying up /refactoring code base
  • Looking for our first user
