Catfacts bot was created by Inertia almost 2 years ago now & it served a useful purpose for a simple bot. It would give a random cat facts in comments of cat related posts and users LOVED it! Can we make a Steem Facts bot to help educate noobs?

So after @inertia created the @freakazoid bot he forked it to create a new bot for a very specific use case and so he called this new bot @catfacts / Now it or something it worked with that inertia also uses, scanned the blockchain somehow to detect when people made posts with the #cat or Im guessing #cats hashtags and would proceed to leaving random cat facts as a comment BUT only when it was relevant! I know this because I have had experience with this bot and not only did I love it and want to see it and others like it more, but I have also seen comments from other users asking about it because they too liked it and would like the now non functioning bot to be brought back! It never over reached or felt like comment spam, but I am sure it may have a cost to run so I will hope to hear from @inertia about his estimate on the price or time it would take to fork freakazoid for a custom "steem facts" bot. I feel like more bots like this should be created but to educate people on how STEEM works! I myself would love to help fund an upstart young (or old) steemian or maybe just myself to learn how to fork catfacts (or freakzaoid) and edit it to have a list of STEEM facts and only show up when Steemians ask about how steem works, maybe by recognizing a specific set of words phrases or just a question is asked, perhaps I can just have steemfacts come up everytime someone asks this common question "how does steem work" ? eh? or "Where does the money come from" or "who pays for steem": i wish we could have a bot that actually knew what people were asking about so when it detected "how does ___ work" you could replace the ___ with curation or delegation (and there should only be so many ways to ask how steem works) then an automated message could go out to explain how steem or a certain aspect of steem works in a one or two short paragraph comment! Id even be willing to write many alterations of the same answers so people don't get sick of seeing the same answers in the comments.

So how hard is it to Fork Freakzaoid?

Have bots that work so serious really useful ahorrariamos us a lot of trouble figuring out those things!

Yeah, I should get that working again.

I don't like more bot. That's look faults.

Steem Facts Idea really sounds good and in my opinion it can be redirected as soon as someone post in the category of Introducingmyself so that from first stage only they will get the opportunity to learn in and out. 🙂
