Hubot 

and why you should use him

By Matt Gowie

Hello, Hubot.

Hubot is your friendly neighborhood Chat Bot. He can do              .

Hubot was developed by GitHub in 2011 as a "Customizable Life Embetterment Robot". He's open source, written in Coffeescript (was cool back in 2011) on Node.js, and has an actual brain (Redis)!

What's he doing @ TUNE?

Hubot was a carry over from Artisan, where we loved and cherished him. At TUNE he hasn't been doing much except Pug Bombin' for most, but he is doing cool stuff on the IAM Team. Here are some of the things we've automated through Hubot: 

• Deploying to Stage
• Building our Release Jars
• Determining who goes first at Standup
• Determine who is on call for OpsGenie
• List the open PRs for our Repos
• And much more
