At our recent annual conference, Atlassian Summit 2014, we talked a LOT about robots…
We’re adding them to many of the Atlassian products, and HipChat has had them for a long time. We thought you might like to see some of the Bots we’ve been playing around with in our Atlassian HipChat rooms!
Introducing HipChat Bot Lab
Bot Lab is a place where we will add HipChat Bots that are ready to be put to work, but aren’t ready for primetime. We’re going to be taking lots of diagnostics on the Bots, and making sure that they’re performing their duties correctly. They’ll be put through some rigorous tests, and those that prevail will be promoted to primetime – a listing on the HipChat Integrations page on HipChat.com!
We’d love for you to meet the very first class of Bots – Sassy, Karma, Standup, Mailroom, Hearsay, Untappd and Alias! If you have a Bot Building Degree (some Javascript knowledge), you can even build your own! While the Bots are in the Bot Lab, they are not officially supported. If you find that they need any tweaks, maintenance or new parts, get in touch with us via the Bitbucket repositories (links on the page), or email us.
Let’s see how many of them can pass the tests and graduate!
Take me to the bots!
