AideBot is a universal IRC help bot. When a user write (in public message or private message to the bot) a !help or a !help topic, the bot will respond with the appropriate line from a JSON file, where help data is stored.
The !help command itself can be customized and changed to something else by modifying helpcommand entry in the conf/config.yml file.
