What is PhysicsBot?

PhysicsBot is a Slack bot I’m building: a physics-focused assistant that lives right inside the communication platform we already use day to day. The idea is simple: instead of students having to Google formulas, hunt for practice problems, or wait until the next class to get unstuck, they can just type a slash command and get what they need instantly. 
It runs on Node.js using the Slack Bolt framework, and right now it’s surprisingly capable for how lightweight it is. 
It comes with various commands, as seen on the screenshot, but I’m open to implementing more. Right now you can study, get quizzed on a certain topic and even convert between different units. 

Why Build This? 

Honestly, I got tired of watching students disengage the moment they hit a wall on a problem. The friction (tuff joke) of not knowing where to look or feeling like asking a question is a big deal stops a lot of them. A bot that’s already in Slack, already in the space where they’re talking to each other, lowers that barrier significantly.
