Define the bot's goal
The goal, audience, and useful outcome.
One task for the first launch¶
Answer three questions:
- Who uses the bot?
- What do they send: a question, command or request?
- What should they receive: an answer, a saved record or a reminder?
For example: βThe bot accepts apartment viewing requests, saves contact details and confirms receipt.β This can already be broken into steps.
Set boundaries¶
- What does the bot handle, and what goes to a person?
- How should it respond to an unclear request?
- Which actions require confirmation?
- What single example demonstrates that it works?
Start with that example. Add payments, broadcasts or complex moderation only after checking the main path.
