We use Metabase on the back-end of our React code-base. We want to create a "Coaching Bot" that greets learners in our Soft Skills Academy. Think of the Bot like a Concierge fielding basic questions about navigating the Academy, booking time with a coach, and simple soft skills tips. The Bot requires intelligence to "know" when it's time to pass the conversation over to a human coach.

As a foundation, the open source Eliza Therapy Bot could be a good NLP model here. Custom code could be built upon Twillio to expedite development. Whatever questions are collected by the Concierge Coach Bot could be repurposed and released daily or weekly (or some other frequency) like TextStory doled out one line of text at a time via SMS by creating a Python/Twillio program to run in parallel to the Bot.

Students should be prepared to:

• research the Eliza therapy bot
• code Concierge Coaching Bot
• input tips (.xlsx source)
• test the code
• release strings of messages via SMS

We have two ex-Googlers who were both senior (Level 5) developers as mentors, plus we are a coaching company offering our interns private and group coaching plus free access to our Soft Skills Academy. You'll complete a Soft Skills Program with a Certification and be amongst the first people in the WORLD to have a badge that says you are "Certified in Soft Skills."
