- toomuchtodo 11y agoWhat does Nestor offer over Hubot [+]? [+] https://hubot.github.com/ https://hubot.github.com/
- iamclovin 11y ago* Natural Language instructions -- no need to remember commands, just speak to it like you would to a human. * Easier to integrate new services * No need to maintain servers
- toomuchtodo 11y agoThank you!
- hongquan 11y agoAnd it helps you cut down your to-do list. ;)
- deleted 11y ago[deleted]
- stephenhuey 11y agoFunny that Hubot's homepage says they aim to "reduce employee efficiency" which sounds a bit counter-productive to me. ;) Full quote: "Install him in your company to dramatically improve and reduce employee efficiency."
- sukruh 11y agoIt helps employees slack better. /s
- compostor42 11y agoI really like the "The Office" chat usage example. That was a nice touch.
- glitcher 11y agoI don't see that example, where did you find it?
- compostor42 11y agoShould be on the right side of the page.
- gingerlime 11y agoLooks cool. We're using Hubot more and more, but this does look like an easier, friendlier alternative. What's the pricing model? Is it hosted? How extensible / hackable is it? Who's behind it? Would be great to get a bit more detailed info. I couldn't find much info on the page.
- iamclovin 11y agoI'm one of the makers of Nestor (previously co-founded @nitrousio). - Pricing model will be based on number of integrations that you have (there will be some integrations that are free to use: yelp, uber, etc.) - API is planned so that you can add your own services. Join Nestor's Slack room https://help.asknestor.me https://help.asknestor.me for more info! Edit: PS - If you'd like to try out Nestor without having to add it to your team, you can join this Slack: https://help.asknestor.me https://help.asknestor.me
- gsharma 11y agoLooks pretty cool! You might want to check out the calendar integration. http://i.imgur.com/iSagoii.png http://i.imgur.com/iSagoii.png I connected my Google Calendar, but it doesn't seem to work.
- iamclovin 11y agothanks for the report, looking into it! edit: you can join the Nestor Slack: https://help.asknestor.me https://help.asknestor.me if you need more assistance.

- iamclovin 11y agoyup i was using slackin (https://github.com/rauchg/slackin https://github.com/rauchg/slackin) and i think there's a bug that caused it to send shitloads of emails to users so i've disabled it. please email hello@asknestor.me for an invite to the Nestor slack.

- iamleppert 11y agoYou guys just sent me like 100k invites lol
- iamclovin 11y agooh is it when you signed in here: https://help.asknestor.me https://help.asknestor.me ? (edit: I'm using the slackin app: https://github.com/rauchg/slackin https://github.com/rauchg/slackin and looking into what happened)
- SPD-13 11y agoCan I be assured that if I tell this bot to get lost he won't take it literally and hide itself among all my other slackbots?
- iamclovin 11y agoyes nestor doesn't take insults personally.
- andrelayer 11y agoDepends on how hard you yell
- silverlight 11y agoIs there a reason you guys decided to have it "listen" to all messages as opposed to requiring a /slash command (which would then only send /slash messages to your servers?)
- aesthetics1 11y ago"Your messages are not stored on Ask Nestor's servers and actions are only taken on direct messages to Nestorbot and messages that include Nestorbot." You have to DM or @ the bot.
- deet 11y agoNeat. Would love to hear more about whether you decided to roll your own NLP or use an API.
