Introducing Juvet: Building Bots in Elixir
summary
A practical walkthrough of building Slack bots with Elixir using the Juvet library shows how apps authenticate with Slack via OAuth (using Uberauth and Phoenix), start an RTM WebSocket connection, open a DM with the installing user (the champion), and run one lightweight per-team process under supervision so failures auto-restart and state survives deployments. The talk demos using NLP (example: Wit.ai) to extract intents and entities, outlines random access navigation as a goal, and lists Facebook Messenger and Twilio as next targets.
