    I really like the "The Office" chat usage example. That was a nice touch.

    Can I be assured that if I tell this bot to get lost he won't take it literally and hide itself among all my other slackbots?

    Is there a reason you guys decided to have it "listen" to all messages as opposed to requiring a /slash command (which would then only send /slash messages to your servers?)

    What does Nestor offer over Hubot [+]?

    You guys just sent me like 100k invites lol

    Looks cool. We're using Hubot more and more, but this does look like an easier, friendlier alternative.

    What's the pricing model? Is it hosted? How extensible / hackable is it? Who's behind it? Would be great to get a bit more detailed info. I couldn't find much info on the page.

    Neat. Would love to hear more about whether you decided to roll your own NLP or use an API.

    is Nestor named after the butler in the Tintin stories?

    How are you going to monetize this?
