3PO-Labs is a collective of hobbyists in the Seattle area. Primarily comprised of David Phillips and Eric Olson, along with other occasional contributors, we combined into a super team in the autumn of 2015, and starting building awesome things, like our bots that are live skills in the Amazon Alexa ecosystem. As with any true hobbyist, we have a massive backlog of ideas that we'll probably never find time to implement, but watch the blog for news on what we are doing.
Eric is the brawn of the group. He does all of the heavy lifting, codewise.
Eric is primarily responsible for the "Bot Family" of skills. He also does the majority of interacting with the public through blog posts, on social media, on slack, and on the Alexa forums. As a result of being the accidental "face" of the organization, he often gets disproportionate credit and accolades for things David did. |
David is 40% of a set of twins, but don't let that fool you - he fully performs at the level of half a man.
David has been largely responsible for creation and maintenance of ASK Responder, as well as contributing less than half the code and more than half the content for CompliBot and InsultiBot. |
Pour a 40...
We also want to take a moment to give a shout-out to Rusty Gerard and Paul Winters, who hacked away with us at the beginning of the DERP Group days, before moving on to other projects. Without them, there would've been no Holocron.
