Inspiration
Suffering, pain, and indignity are our inspirations; we all knew this guy Isaac who couldn't figure out how the clock works back in kindergarten and always came late for outings. Precious hours siphoned away by that time vampire convinced us that there must be a way to account for people’s tardiness when scheduling casual meetings.
What it does
When a group of friends wants to go out for a casual meeting, the organiser will let our telegram bot, TimelyBot know what time the meeting should start (e.g., 12 pm). Based on each person’s history of coming late or early, TimelyBot will generate a personalised time for each individual to reach to actually hit the 12 pm deadline and message each participant that timing. For example, Mary who is always early by 10 minutes will get a timing of 12:10 pm while Isaac will get a timing of 10 am. That way, everyone will reach at the same time and there will be no more waiting around.
How we built it
TimelyBot is built with python-telegram-bot and pymongo.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
Decided to build this project only at 11pm. Surprisingly managed to finish it. First telegram bot we have built before.
What's next for TimelyBot
User testing with Isaac.
