Inspiration

I've been helping a lot with my local election and there's a lot of questions this year about where people can vote, how they can vote, and when they can vote. I wanted to help create a Messenger bot to answer some of these questions.

What it does

It uses Wit.ai to detect intents from a user through Messenger to answer questions about voting.

How I built it

It's built using JavaScript and deployed to AWS using Claudia.js.

Challenges I ran into

Pulling actual election data into the Messenger bot. It seems to be that most of the sources of information cost money so this tutorial is more of a proof of concept than something ready to be put into production. But with the right API it would be incredibly easy to integrate with.
