Elsewhere in the world of ecommerce giants, Alibaba launched a bot for its merchants earlier this month.
Oppov wants to get more news into your reading diet that is contrary to your political opinions. Tell the bot if you’re right or left-leaning and the level of news from an opposing point of view (25 percent, 50 percent, 100 percent) you want to receive daily.
This is a free open-source music bot for the gamer chat app Discord. Fredboat can play music from sources like YouTube playlists in a Discord channel.
Catbot is sort of like the Monkey Pets bot from Yahoo. It’s like a virtual Tamagotchi you can feed, get affection from, and take care of — just instead of it being on a pixelated screen on an egg, it’s on Facebook Messenger.
Swell or Swelly (referred to differently depending on the bot platform) is an A/B visual test bot that got a lot of attention onstage recently during the annual Facebook developer conference F8. It’s for people who want to ask random people or friends which shoes to wear. It has seen more than two million interactions since its launch, as Dvel founder Peter Buchroithner told VentureBeat. The bot can also be used by businesses who want to do market research.
Available on Kik, Messenger, Telegram, and iOS app
