Introducing: The Week!
A Medium weekly roundup of everything BotSupply
(Issue 2 is out! read it HERE)
The Problem
How can we turn all the great work the team is doing into a consistent narrative that is both engaging and genuine at the same time?
The Solution
We look back at our calendars, scroll back on Slack channels, take the best from #botsupply social media, and we create The Week! A Medium weekly roundup of everything happening in the BotSupply’s world.
Note: this is our first issue, and we are looking forward to hearing your feedback and learn how we can communicate better.
Write us at hey@botsupply.co with your suggestions and comments.
Sunday
We are based in Holte, a lovely lakeshore town 20 minutes train ride north of Copenhagen.
When the weather is enjoyable, we move to the nearby Rowing Club and work from the pier overlooking the lake: by far the best way to boost team’s productivity and Vitamin D levels.
We spent our Sunday looking ahead, planning for meetings and making sure everything is in place for the team to kick-ass in the long week ahead! 🤖🚀
Monday
Our friends at Founders organized the Copenhagen episode of Slack team European Tour. We spent the day learning about what’s next for the platform and decided we should start experimenting with bots on Slack.
You can read everything about the workshop here: Slack ❤️ Copenhagen.
Tuesday
First off, we met Symbion, Denmark’s largest business environment for innovative companies. We talked everything from facility management bots to cross discipline collaborations with other startups headquartered in their co-working spaces.
Then we met DSB Digital, Denmark’s National Railway Company innovation lab, to discuss conversational interfaces and the future of commuting.
Then we took to the sky and met with the team at Mervelous to get feedback on some of our suggestions on how to improve access to airport information for the 30+ million passengers transiting through Copenhagen every year.
Fun fact: did you know that the main terminal building was designed to look like a paper plane?
Finally, we concluded the day attending an event on Robotic Process Automation (RPA) presented by Danske Bank at IT University Copenhagen:

Wednesday
We started the day meeting GoGift a potential client operating in the movie space. Their office is located inside Nordisk Film Historical HQ, so we didn’t miss the chance to sneak into a movie scene to snap some pictures:
In the afternoon we met the team at We ❤️ People, a creative agency part of The People Group, for a workshop on the Messaging Economy. The goal was to empower their creative team with the knowledge needed to ideate engaging experiences using Bots and Artificial Intelligence.
We closed the day attending FuckUp Nights Copenhagen | VOL XVI. at RainMaking Loft Copenhagen.
For those who don’t know about FuckUp Nights, the format is simple: each speaker is given 10 min to talk about their failure, followed by a short Q&A session with the audience & networking at the end of the event.
Congrats to our friends at #CPHFTW, the venue was packed!
Thursday
In the morning we visited the guys at Forecast.it a Saas platform leveraging Ai to give clients a new perspective on their projects.
Next, we met the team at Copenhagen Fintech to get to know each other and discuss potential collaborations: we’ll be arranging the next Copenhagen Chatbot Meetup at Copenhagen Fintech Lab and we’ll be speaking at some of the events they will arrange in May and June (📻📻 stay tuned for updates 📻📻).
We concluded the day meeting Gaest.com, a Århus based company operating like the AirBnB of Corporate Facilities.
Friday
We met the Slack team again, to talk about bots and the response they got from different developers communities around Europe.
We also brainstormed ideal use cases for cross-platform bots AKA how to bring some of our FB Messenger bots into Slack in a meaningful way…we’ve got some good ideas and the best is yet to come!
To close the week in style our Co-Chief Data Scientist Kumar Shridhar published a very interesting piece on Turing Test and the future of Bots:

Saturday is roadmap day!
We work with the tech-team to identify opportunities and decide what we should be building next.
This is the dj-set we played this Saturday, brought to you directly from BotSupply #music Slack channel:

We’re a team of bot creatives and AI scientists with one common goal:
blowing business objectives out of the water with bots and cognitive solutions
