In the next few years, chatbots are going to become more intelligent and more widely used. Ecommerce in particular will feel more like an "in-store interaction" through chatbots. We're starting with deals to help people find the product they're looking for and purchase with a single click (or setup an alert for future purchases).

We're a team of engineers in the Bay Area with experience building chatbot APIs and backend interactions for realtime chat applications.
