The bot script

The script the bot is using is stored in the bot-database. The script is set, but you can customise some parts of it to make it fit well with your deployment and organisation.

If you feel adventurous you can go to the file database/seeds/AnswersTableSeeder.php before running the database seeds and migrations and change the wording of the questions. Please note, removing questions might cause the bot to break. You can change the wording of the questions, but not removing them.
