AI Chatbot Application to use in a Slack workspace
Set up your Slack developer account and a Slack workspace. Create a new application within the Slack developer website. After that's setup, go ahead and clone this repo.
Set up .env file in the project and set the API keys:

python -m venv env
source env/bin/activate
pip install -r requirements.txtTo test the Slack integration, install ngrok, including signing up for the

What is Ngrok?
It enables developers to expose a local development server to the Internet with minimal effort. The software makes your locally-hosted web server (like computer, laptop, rasbery PI) appear to be hosted on a subdomain of ngrok.com, meaning that no public IP or domain name on the local machine is needed.
