For the Murros2024 event, a dedicated bot has been created to provide additional information about the upcoming and previous Murros events!

The bot is designed to reflect this “transition” we are experiencing and to highlight various solutions of new technology, whether they are AI implementations like this potentially hallucinating bot!
