You’d never expect Mark Zuckerberg, king of social networks, to publicly admit that “messaging is one of the few things that people do more than social networking,” but the evidence is now indisputable. In 2015, Business Insider reported that messaging apps overtook social networks in popularity.
Since then, every major messaging product – from Messenger to iMessage, Slack to Skype, Echo to Allo – opened up their platforms for “bots” and “micro-apps” which enable users to interact with brands and business without leaving the app. Leading companies from every sector jumped at the opportunity to use conversation and voice to engage customers in a scalable, personalized way.
As a nascent and experimental interface, bots present many challenges to developers. Nevertheless, launching early and iterating quickly enables brand executives to gain critical knowledge of real consumer behavior and stay ahead of their competition.
Below are the 100 best bots from brands and businesses leading their industries in messaging innovation. Click here to download a full-size PDF of the infographic. You’re welcome to share and use the infographic in any media as long as the image remains unmodified and in full.
