AutoBot
Introduction
AutoBot is inspired by GitHub's splendid HUBOT and a childhood love of Transformers, AutoBot however is a chat bot for the Windows crew.
- The core bot engine is written in C# (.NET 4), his functionality and extensibility is provided by the addition of PowerShell 2.0 script modules which are dynamically loaded and executed at runtime.
- AutoBot currently chats only with the XMPP powered awesomeness that is HipChat using the jabber-net library
WARNING: AutoBot is an infant and has some obvious (and other not so obvious) restrictions/issues/flaws, please take a look at AutoBot's current issues before continuing.
