Honestly, I like this model a lot, but I think the focus is like 2:1 charity:slackbots, where I'd like to see the reverse. For example, more examples of slackbots you've made, how long it might take you, and maybe throwing in the app store thing unless that's a big deal, so businesses can get the value out of the bot as simply as possible. Basically, I would recommend focusing on value instead of the charity (despite the fact the charity is the most delightful part -- it's still a price point businesses need to be _sold_ on, not just pitched on).

Getting something on an app store is publishing, not quite the same as writing it which is all he's offered. If you're publishing the bot you'll also need continued support and development, something nobody would throw in for a flat 5k. Would you like him to come up with the idea and market it as well? ;)

I really appreciate the feedback hawkice. Totally get that. Will do that for the follow around. To answer some of your questions: * I made the bot for my startup [0]. It supports interactive messages (buttons, dropdowns), slash commands, and @ commands. Put another way, I use (and have knowledge of) pretty much all parts of the Slack API. * You're getting a backend with the bot. This backend could just save stuff into a database or do more sophisticated things. * I'm happy to work with the non-profit, ScriptEd, on some content marketing material so that the person or company that sponsors this gets public recognition. * Timing - I'm doing this in tandem with other things. Obviously depends on what I get but let's say roughly 2 months. * We're pretty close to getting our startup's app in the app store. I'm happy to help with this process now that I'm more familiar with it. [0] - http://braidhq.com/ http://braidhq.com/

  Nitpick: at the bottom of braidhq it says '2016' ;-)

    Assuming 2016 is when they started working on this, that is the correct date. It should convey the first date of publication and not be some listing of what years it is copyrighted.
