For any Hackathon, the most important and crucial part is to decide on a idea. In the initial stages of HoyaHacks we struggled on deciding on what topic or idea should we work on. Each and every member of our team had tons of ideas and the discord group chat was getting chaotic. Additionally, new members who joined later has issues with keeping up as they had to read the whole chat history.

Thus, we decided to build a Slack bot which can manage and maintain our ideas, so we can streamline and smoothen the whole process right from idea selection to deciding the features and actually implementing the project.

Also, this will be very helpful in corporate world where they teams are working on huge projects.

It's true that one can use other applications such as Notion or keep, but the issue with these applications is that after a certain time, the information stacked gets humongous and thus a new member of the team will not be able to digest that much information quickly. Also, for small hackathon projects, colaborating on multiple fronts is chaotic. As members will chat on slack and then refer notion or other application for notes.

| HG-Bot will solve all these issue and make our lives much easier. |

Hacker Guide aka HG-Bot is a Slack Bot which will help you brain-strom ideas for Hackathons and organise then to implement it. HG-Bot can store project ideas which can be summarized and displayed whenever a member wants to glance through it or edited in future if required.

HG-Bot is designed to be used majorly in early on the development lifecycle but also in later stages. By using HG_Bot in the early stages of your project, you get the following benefits:

• Summarization of the project ideas
• A simple and clear way to brain-strom ideas
• Brilliant yet simple way to organize thoughts of each and every team member
• Painless deployment and configuration of bot
• Scale-up your ideas transparently and logically to suit your training and deployment needs
• Everyone gets a fair chance to voice their thoughts

HG-Bot makes sure for every project idea:

• New idea is saved on Firebase - Realtime Database
• Data stored in ordered fashion

Once ideas is organized into a HG-Bot firebase database, you can edit the ideas and even delete it. There are lots of moving parts for all the MLOps tooling and infrastructure you require for ML in production and ZenML aims to bring it all together under one roof.

Any member of the group can get the list of ideas and all the features along with it with a single command.

We are also planning to introduce a feature that will allow group members to upvote or downvote a idea. This will help in narrowing down the ideas.

• Clone this repo and run the flask app.
• Configure the bot using API key and token.

The quickest way to get started is to create a simply add HG-Bot to your channel.

Feel free to reach out to our team members. We will be happy to help you.
