This was my first Slack bot, and it was really nice to follow along with the tutorial and learn how everything works step by step. I built and deployed a bot using Node.js, Slack Bolt, and Railway, which allows it to run 24/7.
The commands are:
/riley-bot-ping — checks latency
/riley-bot-catfact — tells a random cat fact
/riley-bot-joke — tells a joke
/riley-bot-help — shows available commands
These commands work inside Slack using slash commands. For transparency, my project was debugged with help from ChatGPT while I followed the tutorial.
