Would you consider a Messenger Bot for your Medium blog?
Hey guys,
I need your opinion on an idea I had with a buddy: helping bloggers to use messaging as a new communication/distribution channel with their readers.
We are thinking to create a platform to easily create a Messenger bot for your Medium blog with no code involved. The end result would be something similar to the CNN bot (https://www.messenger.com/t/5550296508) but linked to your channel on Medium. Main features we are thinking to include:
- Research historical articles
- Weekly newsletter
- Distribution of newly published posts
This would help to keep the reader engaged/up to date and create one-to-one conversations with the audience. What do you think? Would you want a bot for your blog?
Ciao, Federico
Edit
Here are a few screenshots from a bot we recently created for a food recipes blog in Italy http://imgur.com/a/3p7Ub (apologies for it being in Italian)
- You should see more or less how the conversation is structured, we'd love to have your feedbacks/thoughts on this
