eventboybot

This bot aims to meet your event planning needs. We plan to make this bot a one-stop event planning companion. We are now in v1 where the bot can compute common timeslots (labelled w names) given a list of available timeslots (that are labelled w names).

Trying to find a common time for a meeting? But everyone's schedule is so different? Let our bot do it automatically for you!

Specify a general time if you wish, and we'll fill in the details :)

This bot was created using Bot Framework.
