Welcome!
Audiobot is an audio feedback bot for Slack. Slack Audiobot is written in node.js and plays MP3 files from it's /sound directory based on queues from Slack users. Audiobot now also features text-to-speech (TTS) for Mac and Windows.
Audio feedback seemed like a great way to liven up the office, but can also be used to provide realtime feedback around events in Slack.
