How did we build Moody?

Moody is developed using Python and the Discord API. Moody's emotion analysis functionality is made with the help of Perspective API's machine learning models which allows for the identification of abusive and toxic messages within a Discord server. A record of users who are toxic are kept in a database using MongoDB Atlas. Moody is deployed and hosted using Heroku.

The following technologies were involved in the making of Moody:

• Discord API
• Heroku
• MongoDB Atlas
• Perspective API
• Python

Challenges building Moody?

• Learning the Discord framework.
• Integrating the new API with our bot.
• Time allocation when working on certain features.

What are we proud of?

• Building a fully functional discord bot that anyone can use.
• We learned an entire framework in a span of 48 hours.

What did we learn?

• Trial and error is the life of any coder!
• If you take the time, anything can be learned on the internet!
• We still have a lot to learn!

What does the future hold?

• Increasing features and functionality.
• Add more languages.
• To be able to analyze more emotions.
• Dashboard.
• Social media.
• Partnering with others to expand the project.
