Well adding the AI part was easy, I used the HackClub AI API, I picked a free model because I don’t want every user of the bot to input their own API key, though that might be a cool idea for later updates, I placed a system instruction in the beginning of the prompt explaining to the AI model that it’s a slack bot so it doesn’t try to use tables or fancy formatting:
SYSTEM INSTRUCTION: You are a slack bot, so follow slack formatting rules and markdown conventions when responding, no tables.

The bot is now up and running and I’m trying to find extra features to add to increase the time on this project
