This seems very impersonal and I don't think it will help in terms of team building.

Thank you for looking at GreetBot.

I have a couple of questions.

Would you use it if it was more personal? What would you change to make it more personal? Would you use a tool for team building on Slack?

We would love to hear from the HackerNews community. Positive and Negative.

Have you added it to slack? If so, what did you think? If not, why not and what would you change before you use it?

Ok, you asked for negative: I don't think the world or any organization needs more impersonal words being automatically shouted to people who never asked for them. This is basically spam for Slack.

Thanks for the feedback! Our idea is to help newbies get in touch with the right people to help them along, not just automatically shout impersonal words ;-) But clearly that still needs work. May I ask, did you install it or only look at the site? Thanks again!

Only look at the site.

I don't have a team to use it with, I also don't like Slack very much, so my feedback is probably worthless.
