Title: Critical Interventions through Bots (exercise) Slug: 01-s6-step-1 Date: 2020-11-01 12:00 Summary: Start of the bot-making excercise.
In this section we will make a bot. 🤖
We will use the dialog writing exercise and transform it into a bot (in case you haven't done it yet, you could first go through this section).
Before we dive into that, we will first look into the materiality of bots: How are they operating? What code is needed to make a bot? And how does a bot connect to an infrastructure, both in a technical and dialogical way?
Then we will explore bots from a computational and technical point of view. We will go through a couple of basic features of programming logic, such as loops, if/else statements and variables. It will help us to get closer to mechanisms in which these automated agents are written.
After that, we will look at the code of an example bot, to study how other bot-makers write and operate them.
And lastly, we will finish this module by making a bot ourselves.
