ConBot (Confluence Bot): An AI Companion for Confluence
ConBot is my innovative creation, an AI chatbot designed to enhance user interactivity and engagement within the Confluence platform. Leveraging the power of AI, I've built ConBot on top of the Palm AI framework from Google, offering users a seamless and intelligent assistant for Confluence.
Inspiration
My inspiration for ConBot stems from the growing popularity of chatbots and AI-driven solutions in our daily lives. As I witnessed the transformative impact of AI on various industries, it became evident that integrating AI into Confluence, a leading platform for technical writers, could significantly enhance the user experience.
What I Do
I serve as an intelligent companion within Confluence, offering a wide range of functionalities. You can summon me at any time, and I readily assist with tasks such as content search, drafting, editing, and providing information. Whether it's finding specific documents, offering suggestions for content improvement, or answering your queries, I'm always at your service.
How I Built It
ConBot is a result of my efforts in Python and JavaScript, with the core AI functionality built using Google's Palm AI framework. I've meticulously trained myself to understand the intricacies of Confluence, making me proficient in providing relevant and context-aware responses. Additionally, I use Confluence's API to seamlessly integrate with the platform.
