Weather Bot is an automation tool designed to gather data from the National Hurricane Center and the National Weather Service, identifying relevant weather alerts and generating reports. This AI-driven application aims to enhance the efficiency and accuracy of weather reporting, ensuring that critical alerts are delivered promptly to the community. By continuously monitoring data feeds, the bot can detect weather events and produce comprehensive reports that highlight essential details. Additionally, it streamlines the process by translating reports between languages, making information accessible to a wider audience. The generated reports are then published to a content management system and notifications are sent to relevant parties for further dissemination.
