Overview

This pull request adds a new /ask command to Goose Guide Bot. It introduces an AI-powered interface to help users get answers to common hackathon questions using natural language. The goal is to reduce load on organizers and provide fast, conversational support to participants.

When a user types /ask <question>, the bot queries the Voiceflow API (or another backend) and returns a helpful response.

What’s Included

  • New command logic in ask.ts to handle the Slack command
  • Updates to index.ts to register the command
  • Changes to SlackBotManifest.json to declare the command
  • Additions to .env.template for required API keys

Note on Commit History

I did not manually change all the files shown in this pull request. Due to a misconfigured local git history, GitHub automatically included many unrelated files when I pushed from my fork. Only the files listed above are related to the new feature.

If necessary, I can recreate this pull request from a clean branch with only the intended changes.

Why This Feature Matters

Participants frequently ask repeated questions during a hackathon. This command helps automate responses, saving time for organizers and improving the overall experience for attendees.

Let me know if any changes are needed. Thanks for reviewing.
