@chrisamccoy I think conversational apps need someone with a theater / character development background to design really cool personalities

@todkiry Spot on. We hired someone who, in his spare time is a stand up comedian, and previously wrote superfluous and effective copy at Living Social, then launched campaigns in SF Creative Agency. His skills are 🔑. In parallel, have a product team building a personality bot API, starting with our own called Printbot. We're building the underlying logic and CMS so we can 'write once, run across all platforms' (WeChat included). It's been experiential in both writing the bot (I'm writing v1, designing the CMS) and getting the logic to work, but day-by-day, we're doing it. Progress is here: http://twitter.com/pr1ntbot For our MVP, we're writing personality bots for several of the top celeb personalities in the world. In a partnership with them, we may run them on WeChat. Will definitely run on Twitter, SMS, and FB Messenger (when we get API access). It's a fun world.

@chrisamccoy Those are all super awesome challenges to be working on! You are building the Ross Marquand of the botworld 🎙😸

@todkiry We like to think of it as the Mystique of the personalized chatbot world ;)
