I took inspiration from a couple of Twitter bots. These two twitter bots have been made by Dan Lockton from the School of Design. https://twitter.com/newmetaphors, (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.https://twitter.com/SyllogismBot (Links to an external site.)Links to an external site.

I intended for my bot will build on some of the existing work done for the new metaphors twitter bot. At the moment it just throws an unusual randomly generated metaphor every half an hour. I want to make this more conversational so that the users of the bot can contribute to making new metaphors. I was interested in how through my bot I could create serendipitous moments of inspiration and conversation between the bot and the user + the user with other people.

 I want to still try and create a semi-random mash-up of images and idea/concept words but unlike the twitter bot I wanted to make it more informed through user feedback
