I managed to write a #meshtastic simple bot in a night.

It is Python code that runs on a computer and uses a Meshtastic node connected via serial.

DM it commands and it'll DM you responses.

Currently the only real command is /wiki TOPIC which will search wikipedia for TOPIC, and give you the first 200 bytes of the wikipedia page that is the closest match.

Allows a tiny research if you're out and about with a meshtastic mode but without a cellphone (or at least cell data service).

I plan on briding it to my self-hosted Matrix server next. And someday, I'd like to have a local copy of wikipedia so that will also work without the internet. The sky is the limit, as long as we don't want to send much data. LOL
