About the course

Interested in creating a bot? It's clearly one of the biggest development trends this year — and with good reason. Many teams are now looking at creative ways to engage with users and potential users through chatbots. From customer service to specific goal orientated apps, the chatbot range is extensive. In this mini course you’ll learn everything needed to create a Slack chatbot using Botkit, one of the most popular libraries for programming bots. From receiving and sending simple messages to sharing your bot to multiple teams. In every lesson of this mini course we'll progressively build a bot that will provide interesting facts. Once you've built your first Slack chatbot, why not explore the Microsoft Bot Framework with our highly rated MS Bots mini course. Check it out!
