I have recently constructed the first Fatbot to do our bidding. If you say one of several keywords in the #FATLAB IRC channel the fatbot will look up some information for you.

Fatbot currently responds to:

!meme — auto-generate an internet catchphrase from Automeme API
!swineflu — print latest stats from the CDC.

Ex. 1:


<jamiew> !swineflu
<fatbot> U.S. Human Cases of H1N1 Flu Infection:
         226 cases,  1 death -- http://www.cdc.gov/h1n1flu/
<jamiew> !meme
<fatbot> YOU HAVE NO CHANCE TO GET LAID, MAKE YOUR TIME

fatbot was made with ruby & isaac.
