BuzzBot

BuzzBot is an experiment, designed to help journalists connect with people on the ground at events. It acts as a Facebook Messenger bot plus a dashboard that journalists can use to send messages to groups of users and view aggregated responses.

BuzzFeed News and Open Lab deployed BuzzBot at the 2016 conventions.
