@gabriel__lewis hahaha - good one!

There are a lot of very serious bots. They try to solve novel AI problems. This is just meant to be fun. It can only tell Dad Jokes. It has a very narrow domain. Just text 631-954-2447 to get things started. I built this using Dexter (https://rundexter.com/app) and Twilio.

@eawharton fun stuff. Case sensitive?

This is neat - I like how there are plain text jokes and memes. There's a pun in there about "joke delivery" but I'll leave the jokes to the bot :)

@chipkoziara thanks! Dad Jokes Bot is no Navi, but it still has its place

Might this be coming to messenger platforms soon?
eddie wharton
@decktonic It will not be coming from me. This was fun and I learned a good deal about bot UX. However, the incremental learning for messenger isn't worth it to me. Happy to share / chat with anyone who wants to bring this to messenger / slack / telegram. I'm at ewharton6 at gmail if someone is interested.

It seems to only know five or six jokes... am I stuck in a randomizer loop?

Wow, US only message service. Great article PH.

@edinvejzovic sorry Edin. I'm paying for Twilio and int'l would've been too expensive. Here's a dad joke for you: "When my wife told me to stop impersonating a flamingo I had to put my foot down."
