A tool to make our lives easier….

In simple words…...
● It is an hidden bot which sitting in a Hipchat
room waiting for our command.
● Once we will give those commands, it process
them and perform desired tasks.

3. Continued….
In technical words……
● It’s a node js application/server running on our local
network.
● We are using ngrok utility to map the local Ip to public
Ip.
● Node js application communicates with Jenkins over HTTP.
