Time is money. We all hate doing repetitive tasks. We do our best to automate them, so we write scripts that we never share. And so, the vicious cycle continues. In this talk I’m going to introduce you to the next level of interactive automation - Slackbots. If we’re already using Slack on a day to day basis, why not have it automate our tasks and manage our workflows? Just communicate with your customized friendly bot and with a few clicks let the whole company also enjoy your automated capabilities!

In this talk we’ll dive into the concept of the Slackbot. I’ll present how we used Slackbots to produce our reports, how we improved it by getting feedback and taking actions in response, and how we managed to do it all with AWS Lambdas. By the end of this talk you’ll be able to build your own Slackbot and put your scripts to work.
