Meet Howdy, a trainable workplace bot that can automate boring administrative tasks.
When the professional chat app Slack launched in 2013, the small team at software development studio XOXCO immediately started building integrations. Based in central south Austin with a dozen delicious food trucks within walking distance, team lunches were a point of constant group discussion, so the team developed a Slack bot named “Lunch Bot” that would pipe in with suggestions. “We thought, what are the other kinds of things that are boring and mundane that lots of teams do that can be delegated to a bot?” says CEO Ben Brown.
