Can we create our own bots like discobot to DM people, auto reply to topics like Reddit has?

I created a [hubot adapter](https://meta.discourse.org/t/hubot-adapter-for-discourse/63419) that should handle this case pretty well.

There’s no built in way to create bots directly in discourse at the moment, but if you’re comfortable with setting up your own hubot install, this is the best method I know of.
