Meet Will.

Will is the friendliest, easiest-to-teach bot you've ever used. He works on hipchat, in rooms and 1-1 chats.

He makes teaching your chat bot this simple:

@respond_to("hi")
def say_hello(self, message):
    self.say("oh, hello!")

The hipchat Will was first built by Steven Skoczen while in the Greenkahuna Skunkworks (now defunct), was extended by Ink and Feet, and has been contributed to by lots of awesome people.

Will has docs, including a quickstart and lots of screenshots at: http://skoczen.github.io/will/

Check them out!

Big Update: I've just posted the roadmap and future direction for will. Your thoughts are welcome!!
