Seems to be an hybrid between an app and a chatbot, maybe you can have the best of both worlds!
Plus, a chatbot integrated to a group chat is, in my opinion, a super idea. Bot-ready platforms like Messenger or Telegram (or even iMessage with their plugins/apps) need this feature. Imagine a “bro-bot” for your best-friends-squad, which can take bets (Kylie or Kendall? Jay-Z or Kanye? 😇) or schedule appointment.
