Updated Bot’s repo & project to contain link to directly try out bot instead of just youtube video. Updated deployment method to also contain guide for pm2. Specified ai usage in readme.

been working on the zerox slack bot transition. struggled with event subscriptions and socket mode on the dashboard since it kept asking for a request url — had to toggle socket mode first to bypass it. also had to invite the bot to the channel manually to get app_mention to trigger. rewrote the parser to clean the mention tag, colons, and spaces because it was throwing a fit and fallbacking to help menu. ran into background instances of node load balancing socket mode connection, killed them with stop-process to get it working. ask and roast commands updated to show the original prompt at the top. cleaned up deploy.md and slackbot.service for root systemd deployment.
Finally made the first draft for it.
bot is up and working.
I was clueless at first on what to create for project on hackclub & then just made slack bot as it will give me idea on how things work.
It was different and unique experience compared to discord bot developing (Which I mostly works on).
