What does the bot do?

The bot has several interesting functionalities, such as -

1. Email - It can send emails to any specified email id by the user.
   The emails can have an attachment too.

2. Image recognition - The bot can recognize the contents of any image sent to it.

3. Jokes - The bot doesn’t only do work, it also entertains you by sending a random dad joke, because as they say, ‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy!”

4. Login - You can log into your account from here. You can access your recent activity, and also view your saved message and media!

How I built the bot?

Login - For logging in, I created a web app for the login interface using ReactJS. The data is stored using MongoDB and for secure login, an OTP is generated, also through MongoDB.

Email - It uses 'nodemailer' service by Sengrid.

Image recognition - The bot can recognize the contents of any image sent to it, using the Clarifai API.

Jokes - This uses the icanhazdadjoke service.

Conclusion

This project of mine falls into the Intersting Integrations category for this hackathon. It was a lot of fun creating this project, I hope you would enjoy using my WhatsApp bot, WhatsTer too!
