This is project to create a chatbot to mimic our coworker Will while he is out on paternity leave.

Plan:

• Query the Slack API for #chalice messages (channel === 'G8SNJM07L')
• Filter by user = will (user === 'U0E5PKHL6')
• Filter out multimedia messages Progress is here so far
• Write the text of Will's messages into a .txt file
• Run it through a Markov chain to generate Will...ish sentences
• Create a bot that will post Will...ish messages to #chalice channel
  • { periodically? listen for certain keywords? }
