Ever use Piazza? You might get a lot of repetitive questions for which you'd like to give the same advice, or point to the same resources, or so on.
PotatoBot is a Piazza bot which automatically responds to questions!
It's written for the computer science courses at University of Michigan.
PotatoBot is written for Python 3.
To launch PotatoBot, launch a PotatoBot profile with Python:
python profile281.py # For EECS 281 at UM.
You will want to set the following environment variables:
PBOT_EMAIL: The email address of the PotatoBot account. (The PotatoBot account should be an instructor for maximum effectiveness, so that it can repsond to private posts.)PBOT_PASSWORD: The password for the account.PBOT_CLASS_CODE: The class code on Piazza. You can find this in the Piazza URL. It may look something like this:iiw12cde6ghij
See profile.py for an example.
