This is insane.

I’ve been working on Octane AI since last may. Almost a year now.

What do we do? We use bots to multiply engagement online for businesses by connecting them with the 1,000,000,000+ people who use Facebook Messenger every month.

How’s it going? Incredibly well. The results have been amazing.

  • 50–75% click through rates.
  • Campaigns performing 1,000x better than their Facebook counterparts.
  • Real-time notifications to tens of thousands of people in seconds.

Who are we working with? Big brands, publications, and an ever growing list of top musicians, including Maroon 5, KISS, Aerosmith, Jason Derulo, 50 Cent, and more.

The demand is off the charts.

This morning I woke up to Octane AI on the front-page of The New York Times Business section.

Pure insanity. Our inboxes are exploding.

Our partners are seeing higher engagement from Octane AI, than they have seen with any other distribution channel they operate.

If you are currently skeptical about bots, you have two choices. Start building up your bot now, or wait until everyone else has done it.

Let me know either way, I’d love to help.
