Chatbot for veterans resources about project-ideas

Agreed! If you folks are going to pursue this idea for the hack-a-thon I'd most assuredly be game to help out.

I really like the idea of attempting to unify information sources through the use of a bot. This is a key area of investment in the private sector in large part due to the ease of use and understandability factors you mentioned. There is a swath of resources available for development, including a couple below:

https://dev.botframework.com/ <- Cross platform framework from Microsoft
https://developers.facebook.com/docs/messenger-platform <- Facebook messanger platform

The BIG IDEA is that online, mobile, and AI technology resources can help veterans access resources and secure the benefits to which they are entitled to make a successful transition from military to civilian life.
