Awesome idea and a fun integration! I could really see teams using this!

  omg thanks Aimee!

  P.s. we listen to JSJ here at Dev League and recommend it as an external resource to all students. JSJ is great and we love your contributions on the show.

  Aloha!

  That's awesome to hear! Thank you so much!

First, I like that you plugged into Watson. That said, I'm not sure I get why Watson is involved, since you are depending on user-curated content, they could just as easily tag the content themselves. I didn't download the extension, so I can't really rate based on that. I think when I saw that Watson was being used, I assumed I'd be able to do something like `/docbot what is webpack and how do I use it` but it looks like I can only use keywords for searching (from the best I can tell). I would have liked being able search the articles on your actual site rather than having to join a slack channel, since I'm not regularly a slack user.

Bottom line, I think this is an innovative entry, so good job!

  Thanks Alex! We plan to continue developing this out and actually use this as an internal tool and increasing the sophistication of query-ability. Right now we are using Watson Alchemy API to break down the content submitted for NLP and determining the key topics covered in the article(rather than tagging). The articles returned will be the top matches based on relevancy index returned from Watson. Will definitely take your feedback into consideration as we move forward. Thanks for taking the time to take a look :D

This app looks useful!

  aw shucks

I have docbot in our slack and i love the slack avatar icon design! i'm using it to learn new PLs!

Neat way to get links to students, though I can't say I ever used slack while I was in school.

  Thanks for the kind words! Yeah, I don't know if other schools use it but its a great tool. Take care!

Seems pretty handy as a slack plugin. I'm watching the repo for updates! :}

Impressive and comprehensive implementation! The feature I want is to summarize the links other people send me in slack so I don't have to click the link!

  That's a great idea! I think we're going to look into that as soon as teams are implemented. Danke! 👌

Super. Freaking. Cool. 😄

  Thanks Ben! 😬

I like that there is a separation of functionality between how resources are sent to the server, the gathering of rankings and tags for resources, and the searching for resources. Because of this separation, there are opportunities to make improvements by adding search capabilities to the website or through command line applications instead of just slack.

  Thanks Brian! You're on point with the whole separation structure. We do want to make it modular so that people can create their own ways to gather and present their documents and what not. We never thought of the command line thing, thats definitely going to be one of our stretch goals when we build the final product after NKO!

This is the most useful service ever, since Slack is so popular nowadays among the dev folks. Why have to leave it to look something up in the docs? Great start! I'd really like to see this move forward and be a tool developers can't do without!

  Marifel, we're looking for some awesome ML devs if you want to contribute!

Great idea! Might wind up using this for curating docs in our team Slack! Would prefer a confirmation button on the Chrome extension to avoid "Feeding data" when I don't want to, and more info on what it has saved.

  Thanks Topher, great suggestion for the extension. Ray was thinking maybe that's a user flow to add additional tags as well in addition to Watson analysis. We're going to continue dev here if you wanna watch for udpates! https://github.com/devleague/docbot
