# @knowledgebot

@knowledgebot is an experiment in collecting and sharing knowledge at Twitch.

## Vision

Obviously, this is a tough problem to solve. How do we effectively collect and share knowledge? We aren't quite sure but that's not going to stop us. We've identified a crude MVP that could get us going in the right direction.

@knowledgebot will store keyword lists to link pairs. The idea here is that @knowledgebot will respond with documentation links that contain the most keywords in a question. If the document contains what you are looking for, great! If it doesn't, we ask that once you find the information you are looking for, you add it back to the document. This way, we can each spend a little extra time curating knowledge for everyone else's benefit. By amortizing the time we invest, we can begin to collect and share knowledge at Twitch.

The MVP will:

- enable users to create new keyword lists link pairs and list what keyword lists already exist. 
- only respond when @knowledgebot is mentioned.
- offset the complexity of storing the knowledge or other systems such as Confluence, Github, or Google Docs. By using links, we are not prescriptive about where the knowledge has to live.
