CsLaBot

A chat bot that helped students to stay informed about the class

NOTE : This project is currently not functional as it was hosted for free on Heroku and Heroku shut down it’s free tier.

In it’s heyday it used to serve a lot of students in my college to keep track of class related matters. It had the following commands

  1. Time Table : Which showed the timetable for the day
  2. Notes : Which provided noted for all classes
  3. Joke : Which queries an external API to retrieve a joke
  4. Quote : Which also queries an external API to retrieve a motivating quote
  5. ktu : Which scraped the notifications page of KTU website to get the latest news
  6. Exam : Retrieved the timetable for any upcoming exams

I also set up a structure through which anyone interested in contibuting to the bot could easily add their own commands to the bot. The code for the bot is available here.
