A group project where we developed a slack bot to increase productivity
SlackOff Bot Problem: People are stressed, they need to cool down.
How to Solve: We will create a SlackOffBot that sends messages that are triggered by specific words like stress/ed, overwhelmed, break, busy, etc. and will send a calming message pulled from the internet or a self-created database.
Why this is worth solving: To alleviate the pain of being overworked, helps them be more productive.
Design: Monitoring messages of #general or a specific channel, then it is triggered by "Please give me a joke", or "Please give me advice" and it will return a message. If individuals say those keywords over a specified limit within a certain timespan, a message will be output to that user giving them different de-stress methods and says, "you need a break, try one of these methods to chill out."

This one is probably closer to what we'll be doing but it's more complex so I wanted to start small https://hackernoon.com/a-guide-to-building-a-multi-featured-slackbot-with-python-73ea5394acc
