Build TogetHER: Build a SlackBot *** Intermediate Level ***
Elevate Your Slack Game with BadgeBot! ⚡ Ready to level up your builder skills? We are so excited to invite you to our next Build TogetHER: BadgeBot workshop! This is a warm, hands-on space where we’ll dive into the world of AI-powered Slack bots together.
This session is deeply inspired by the incredible energy of our SlackBot Build Hour Series from August and September 2025. We’re keeping that momentum going by building on the work of our own Ruta Gadgil and Avril Fuentes, who created the original BadgeBot to celebrate our WDAI members!
Whether you were part of that summer series or are joining us for the first time, this is your perfect launchpad. We’ll guide you through combining Cursor, GitHub, and the Slack API to create your very own base bot from scratch.
Why You’ll Love This Build: Hands-On Learning: You won't just watch; you'll create a functional tool you can actually use.
Warm & Encouraging Environment: Whether you’re an intermediate builder or brand new, you are so welcome here!
Level Up Fast: Even if you just want to observe, watching is one of the fastest ways to grow your confidence and tech skills.
A Note from Your Fellow Builders: We promise this is not as intimidating as it sounds! We’re all about making these powerful tools accessible and fun. If you've never worked with these tools before, don't worry—we’re building this together.
What You'll Need to Join In: To make sure you're ready to build alongside us, please have the following ready:
Cursor & GitHub: Set up and ready to go.
Slack API Access: To connect your new bot to your workspace.
A Notetaking App: Have a Google Doc or notepad open for any "aha!" moments.
We can't wait to see what you build! ✨
