i built Botkit because i couldn’t find a good way to see what other people are actually working on in robotics. a lot of projects seem to be scattered across Discords, X, private chats, or never shared at all.

Botkit is a simple experiment: you add a WhatsApp number and post project updates (text, photos, videos) while you’re building, like you’re messaging a friend. those updates become a project others can follow.

you can also forward purchase receipts and it’ll automatically extract the parts used, mostly so people can learn what actually goes into real builds. here's an example of what your AI assistant on Whatsapp will keep up to date for your followers to see: https://botkit.com/danamajid/olly

i’m trying to learn a few things: - are there good robotics communities or Discords I’m missing? i'd love for the directory to include all sorts of projects - if you’re working on a robotics project, would you be willing to share it publicly?

this is early and pretty raw. curious to hear what people think.
