This week on Glitch: Rise of the Bots!

Whether it’s a handy Slack bot that helps you collaborate at work or a playful Twitter bot that offers a fun distraction during the day, there’s no end to what bots can do for you.

But if you’ve ever had an idea and thought, “That would make a great bot!” you know it’s often still too hard to make a bot yourself. So Glitch is here to help. This week, we’ll be featuring cool bots that you can use as-is, or remix to power your own creative ideas. We’ll ask brilliant bot creators to join us to help give you inspiration for new creations. And we’ll even point out the ways that bots can encourage us to do better out in the world, not just at work.

The best part? All of these creative bot examples are just the starting point — we’ve got a whole collection of Bot Building Blocks that will let you build the bot of your dreams, for nearly any platform. So if you’re inspired by the bots you see here, you can run with your idea and make a bot that anybody can try for themselves. Whether it’s for Twitter, Slack, Facebook Messenger or anywhere else, we’ll be watching to see what bots you create!
