Day 25

This project runs as a persistent Python process and cannot be embedded in the browser. Clone the repo and run it locally to try it out.

Context: Message bots need a long-running process that can listen for triggers and send responses — something that PyScript and browser-based Python fundamentally cannot do, since they have no network access or persistent runtime.

Challenges: Structuring the bot so message handlers are easy to add without touching the core event loop. Keeping credentials out of the source code using environment variables, and handling reconnects gracefully when the connection drops.

Result: A Python bot that listens for messages and responds based on defined triggers. Run it with python main.py — requires the relevant API credentials set in a .env file.
