ChatBuddy is a very simple XMPP chatbot which aims to help you talk through whatever is on your mind. It was built as part of the Project Ginsberg #lifedesigns Hack Weekend.

ChatBuddy depends on sleekXMPP which can be installed by pip:

pip install sleekxmpp

You'll need to create an account on an XMPP server for your instance of the chatbot first. You can get a free account at http://register.jabber.org/ .

You can then run chatbuddy like this:

python chatbuddy.py -u [email protected] -p cleverpassword

Then, add the [email protected] account to your jabber/xmpp/gchat account and chat away!
