@copyhackers Thanks Jo Jo

Well-done @koolkoder 👏 Impressive as a 14yo man. You're solving a problem many students have so for that congrats 👍
Alec Jones
@mrcalexandre Thanks. I too agree, and hope that many students will use Christopher Bot to help them

Way to go... I'm 44 and you at 14 years old have inspired me to keep on following my dreams
Pame Valdés
Love this!!!! Keep building stuff! I love people who are driven and don't wait til they graduate to pursue their dreams. Honestly, just keep doing this, and talk to users, and you'll get very far.
Alec Jones
@pamevls thank you and I'll keep doing just that!
Prateek Keshari
Good job, Alec! :) This is really good stuff. I made a bot of my own (m.me/iambotson) but yours is so much better. How was your experience building it from the ground up?
Alec Jones
@prateekkesharii It was quite the challenge, but it did teach me tons. It was a really awesome experience. Also, I have a medium article coming out soon all about building Christopher Bot
Arun
This looks extremely nice, Alec! I wish I were still in school/college to try this out. Great going for a 14yo, Facebook Messenger chatbots and stuff! 21 here, and still learning. Kudos, Alec! :)

THIS IS AWESOME! Finding a problem you're facing and building something to solve it. Keep at it man. You're going places.
Mads Hensel
I love it. Shipping a product as a 14-year-old one man army is inspiring. But even more inspiring is that you saw an opportunity and acted on it. Keep that going and you'll get to make even more awesome products.
Alec Jones
@madshensel Thank you. I always appreciate the words of encouragement
Akshay Bharwani
Good job Alec. Looking forward to using it. P.S. Your repo: https://github.com/alecj1240/hom... has some of the funniest commits I've seen. :D
Alec Jones
@akshaybharwani I can get frustrated sometimes and don't put much thought into my commits😅
Rami Ghanem
Well done. 🤓
Alec Jones
@rghanem1 Thank you
braxton
Wow, brilliant bot! Christopher Bot is very helpful and intuitive and I am pleased to say I have signed up for it! The commands are very self-explanatory and it is easy to use! I can't wait to see how this works out for me in the first few days. Great work Alec!
Alec Jones
@3raxton Thank you so much. If you have any questions or concerns you can email me using the site's contact form or on twitter.
Brad Sunness
great job, @koolkoder! One question though... will Christopher Bot do my homework for me? :)
Alec Jones
@brads613 If he could do that...I think Christopher Bot would be a lot more popular
Cindy Millet
Love this! Gotta let my students and fellow colleagues know about this!
Alec Jones
@cindymillet8 Omg! Please do! That would be so amazing!!! 😱
Florin Muresan
@cindymillet8 great idea! I have a couple of schools I could send this to
Joey Johnson
Fellow 14 year old here, great job man! That's sick that your my age and made such a cool and useful product. Awesome!
Alec Jones
@joeyj_218 Thank you. Good job on being on Product Hunt at such a young age too!
Emmanuel Lemor
Hi Alec, Great job, unfortunately it doesn't help for those students in schools which don't allow the use of SmartPhones... it would be interesting to see if you can solve that part of the problem as well ;) Keep up the great work! and I love the Turing reference!!!
Oscar
Awesome bot! You should consider adding a way to have multiple timetables. For example, 1 week on Monday, I might have Math first, but the next, I might have English.
Alec Jones
@oscarpacaa yes. One of the things on my list to build is a 10 day student schedule for that exact situation
zghm
@alec_joness @oscarpacaa I would love to see your wishlist and be able to somehow watch you check it off one by one. Your progress will be great to see.
Alec Jones
Yes I agree

Hey Product Hunters, and thanks @awilkinson for hunting Christopher Bot! I’m Alec Jones and I'm 14 years old. About 6 months ago, I decided to build a bot that could help students of all ages, all over the world. So I made Christopher Bot, a Facebook Messenger bot that keeps track of your homework. I was tired of trying to remember to write down my homework or enter it in a task app, so I wanted someone to keep track of it all for me. Christopher Bot asks you what homework you were assigned at the end of every class. Then at the end of the day, he texts you a list of all the homework from your day (and displays it on a webpage for the entire week). He texts you Monday to Friday at whatever time your classes end. He can send you a list of commands. He pauses when you're on vacation, and then he resumes when you get back. Fun Fact: Christopher is the name Alan Turing gave to his machine in WWII that cracked the Enigma, and it's the reason I named my bot Christopher. Thank you for checking out Christopher Bot — hope you like him. P.S. I’m in school today, but I’ll try to answer questions between classes.
Mac Connolly
@alec_joness Awesome work man. Do you have any plans to have a different number of classes per day? Most college students don't have a fixed number of classes, so it's not really that helpful yet for us. But if you can get that going, this would be so sick.
Alec Jones
@macconnollyco actually, you dont need to have the same number per day. Just enough for the most amount of classes you have in a day. But you can totally leave some form spots blank.
