ai.py, resp.py, school.py, and twit.py, are a bit more involved because they don't specifically have a "command" that triggers them.

ai.py - This is the "artificial intelligence module." This module tries to provide some interaction with jenni. If you want a bot that only responds when spoken to, you might want to disable this module or just delete it.

resp.py - This is the "jenni response module." This module has the most annoying features that use to be included in ai.py. As above, if you want a bot that only responds when spoken to, you might want to disable this module or just delete it.

school.py - This feature parses schedulizer.com for classes schedule. To utilize this feature use the command .school. However, at the moment it does not work. This feature has been disabled for the time being.

Security

If you give jenni OP status she can moderate the channel as far as giving people voice and op status. As of the current set up only the admin listed in jenni can give OP status to other people. These features were created by Alek Rollyson from the Open Source Club at The Ohio State University.

• .voiceme - Gives the user + voice
• .devoiceme - Removes voice for current user.
• .voice <user> - Gives "user" voice (only used for admin).
• .opme - Gives OP status to who requests it. (only works for admin).
• .op <user> - Gives OP status to "user". (only works for admin).
