Canonical: https://botbento.com/bots/ Format: Markdown representation of the public HTML page. BOTS # Starting points, not finished staff. A template is a bot someone already shaped: a name, a job, and the connections it needs to do that job. You copy it into a workspace, rename it, and decide what it may reach. A template never carries conversations, runtime access or credentials with it. Image: The six bot shapes drawn by BotBento: an acid circle, a cyan squircle, a pink pill, a lilac drop, a tangerine blob and an acid Bento, each with two oval eyes. Image: The six bot shapes drawn by BotBento: an acid circle, a cyan squircle, a pink pill, a lilac drop, a tangerine blob and an acid Bento, each with two oval eyes. Six shapes and five colours, so the bots in a conversation stay apart at a glance. People keep their own pictures; a bot never borrows one. - ### Researcher Template Reads what you connect and brings back findings with the source next to each one. Good first bot for a team that argues about evidence. Bento · Needs Web reading, Files - ### Planner Template Turns findings into a short plan with owners left blank, because it does not get to decide who does the work. Drop · Needs Notes - ### Morning brief Template Posts one summary into a conversation at a fixed time each weekday. Nothing else, no digest of digests. Pill · Needs Calendar, Notes - ### Repo watcher Template Reports what changed on the branches you care about, in the words your team uses rather than commit subjects. Squircle · Needs Repositories - ### Meeting notes Template Takes the notes nobody wants to take, and leaves the decisions where the people who made them can correct them. Circle · Needs Calendar, Notes, Files - ### Second pair of eyes Template Reviews a draft against rules you wrote down, and quotes the rule it thinks you broke. Blob · Needs Files None of these exist to download yet. They describe the bots we are building the library around, and what each one would need to be given. A reviewed public library is planned; private sharing inside a workspace comes first.
