I built Vozo Bot, a custom Slack bot using Node.js, Slack Bolt, and Socket Mode. The bot responds to custom slash commands and is hosted on Hack Club Nest so it stays online 24/7.

Features:

* /vozo-ping — Check bot latency
* /vozo-help — View available commands
* /vozo-joke — Get a random joke
* /vozo-catfact — Get a random cat fact

The most challenging part was setting up the Slack app, configuring the tokens securely, connecting the bot with Socket Mode, and deploying it to Nest. I also had to learn how to use GitHub, SSH into a Linux server, and run the bot as a systemd service.

I'm proud that the bot is fully deployed and continues running even when my laptop is turned off.

To test the project, use any of the slash commands:
/vozo-ping
/vozo-help
/vozo-joke
/vozo-catfact

Source code is available on GitHub, and the bot is hosted on Hack Club Nest.
