statico / memorybot

🤖 An infobot-inspired Slack bot that remembers things

memorybot

How to use it

Check out the documentation on https://statico.github.io/memorybot/

How to install it

You will have to host and run memorybot yourself. There is no "Add to Slack" button because hosting bots costs money. Also, memorybot needs to listen to all of the chat messages on rooms you invite it to, so you probably don't want to send your Slack team's chat messages to some random server that you don't trust.

1. Create a new bot integration for your team

1. Go to https://my.slack.com/services/new/bot
2. Give it a nice name, like @membot or @bender or @hal9000 or @glados
3. Maybe give it an icon. Check out the free Robots Expression icons by Graphiqa Stock.
4. Save the API token for later. It should begin with xoxb-.

2a. Run memorybot with Docker

$ mkdir /path/to/data
$ docker run --name memorybot -v /path/to/data:/data -e SLACK_TOKEN=xoxb-xxxxx statico/memorybot

2b. Run memorybot as a standalone application

$ mkdir data
$ npm install
$ echo "SLACK_TOKEN=xob-xxxxx" >>.env
$ echo "DATA_DIR=data" >>.env
$ npm run -s start
