The Discourse Response Bot is a plugin that automatically replies to new posts with a wiki post to encourage collaborative answers. Developed by Bolarinwa_Balogun, it allows admins to customize the default reply text and toggle the plugin per category. The source is available on GitHub: https://github.com/bolariin/discourse-response-bot. satonotdead praised the plugin and asked if the bot’s username could be changed to an active forum user for better user experience. IAmGav confirmed the username is hardcoded but can be modified by forking the repo — which they successfully tested. satonotdead followed up asking about using Discourse’s default bot (like Discobot) or customizing the avatar. IAmGav replied that admins can change the bot’s avatar — and demonstrated changing the bot ID to use Discobot’s avatar and name, which worked seamlessly. The plugin is open for testing, feedback, and feature suggestions.

It seems very cool!
Can responseBot username be changed for an active user of the forum? That’s feeel more comfortable for new posters.
Currently the username is hardcoded.
you can change it, but would need to make a copy of the repo and then load that repo
EDIT
works like a charm
Thanks, I will try it 
What about using default bot (we bot has name and avatar) or changing the avatar in Response Bot?
