🤖 Thrilled to announce the launch of Kapa, a Chat-GPT bot that’s been trained on the Moonbeam Docs Site. The Bot can handle just about ANY Moonbeam developer-related question!

Read the blog for all details: https://moonbeam.network/blog/kapa-ai-introduction/

To ask Kapa a question, head to the ask-kapa-ai channel in the Devs Hub ( 👾 Discord) & follow these steps:

1️⃣ Mention “@kapa.ai” - Kapa can only respond if you tag it in the question.
2️⃣ Kapa will acknowledge your question immediately, and respond in about 15 seconds.
3️⃣ You can ask up to 2 follow up questions in the same thread and Kapa will respond. Otherwise, you can always tag @ DevRel and we’d be more than happy to answer any questions you have.

⚠️ We ask that you refrain from spamming Kapa with unnecessary questions, as resources are limited. Kapa is trained to only answer questions that it knows the answers to with a high degree of confidence, so if there’s a question it’s not entirely sure about, you’ll get an “I’m not sure” response by design. Kapa is continually learning and evolving with updates and additions to the content it’s trained on, such as the Moonbeam documentation site. Of course, there are some questions that Kapa can’t answer, and the Developer Relations team is here to help.

Say hello to the 1st quest as part of Moonriver Rise & keep an eye out as more appear over the next week + during the celebration to earn XP! A special leaderboard (called a sprint) will run during the live event to help us choose who gets prizes.
