Great example for what kind of Facebook messenger bots we will see going fwd: Poncho gives you ⛅️ weather. Mica gives you recommendations of ☕️ hipster cafes and restaurants around you (or in other places).
There are some places that don't really have good hipster locations nearby. Do you have any ideas what Mica could recommend instead?
@__tosh I thought about an 404 meme pic or so, but I'd love to hear your suggestions on that!
Sent my location. Spot on! I am definitely not in a hip location 😉 Will try again tomorrow when on the road. Hehe! Thanks for building this!
@mikeseeh thank you so much! at least Mica can entertain you with some cool pix 😼
NIce work :) Woah, I discovered hispter places in São Paulo hehe - btw... how do you find places? Is it possible for uses to contribute?
@electrobabe Just curious, because I'm in Brazil, so where you get the recommendations is an important info :) btw what technologies were used?
@electrobabe btw, that's my interaction with the product: 
- would love to see it speak more "naturally" (especially when it asks How I am, I replied happy, it didn't get it)
- would love to see it speak more "naturally" (especially when it asks How I am, I replied happy, it didn't get it)@aleattorium well, I designed a special algorithm to check for hip places worldwide. just give it a try! :)
Mica told me to go to Dolores Park and Blue Bottle. That's not hip. That's mainstream. #basic
@nealmueller thank you for your feedback! which venues would be more hip in this area? we're currently also working on a recommendation system to improve results...
Haha! Seems like there is no hipster cafe in my town :D But I love the idea, especially because I travel a lot - and I'm coffee lover!
@angeliquetoque oh no! which town is it? maybe you should start a new hipster café there ;)
@electrobabe Opole in Poland :) But I tried to find other cafes in bigger cities, and yup it works :D. MrrrrrRrr!
@angeliquetoque well, not in every city is a hipster café ;) glad you find something suitable
hi, I'm barbara, the owner and maker of Mica, the Hipster Cat =>'.'<= If you you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything! Or ask Mica: http://m.me/hipstercatbot
@electrobabe Great product! I used it in my town, Wichita, KS, and got a few decent places, although I'd say there are a few more under-the-radar hipster places then what it showed, plus some places I wouldn't define as hipster. How do you currently decide what is hipster and what isn't?
@linkchef I'm glad you like the bot! :) well, I designed a special algorithm to check for hip places worldwide: I look up hipster venues in difference APIs such as Foursquare, Yelp, Google Places and Facebook Places and merge the data to display it to the user with a Facebook Messenger chat bot
Hint: you can also send your location directly with facebook messenger to get fancy hipster places recommended ;)
