talk about a support chatbot

I spy on the dev support channels at work (a ticket is created for every top level thread), and they connected a bot that attempts to answer questions by matching against previous problems and our internal documentation, and tbh it works really well. I've seen it give the correct answers a lot of the time. (And irrelevant ones occasionally.)
