"It's about time to take your medication!" or how to write a friendly reminder bot ;-)
summary
A working chatbot that reminds someone to take long‑acting insulin and waits for confirmation, resends up to three times and then gives up is built and shown working. Code uses SleekXMPP to reach Google Hangouts and demonstrates OAuth2 via Google Developers Console to obtain tokens for the Google+ Hangouts API. The talk lays out the event‑driven design, scheduler and state machine, shows actual message handling and retry logic, and points to runnable code on the project site.
