Has anyone tried accessing Discourse topics from a chat bot?

Curious on whether anyone has tried accessing Discourse topics from a chat bot in Matrix/Telegram/Slack, etc.

Wondering how to potentially allow some topics/posts/solutions of our forum to become available for those using chat bots as an FAQ, which will link them to forum info via url.

Cheers.

I have seen this done before. I assume they have used a webhook to get the feed of all new topics. And this was on discord.

I suppose you are correct.

I was imagining more of an interactive bot, which you can use to search through existing topics as opposed to an rss style feed bot. Apologies for not clarifying.

You ask the bot: Meeting
and it replies with topics:
