Messaging apps

With Message.io, it’s easier than ever to take advantage of the conversational workplace revolution. We enable developers to take their existing bot or conversational apps and deploy across multiple enterprise messaging platforms. We obsess over the latest platform requirements and docs, so you or your development team doesn’t have to.

Many thanks, Chris, for hunting us. I'm the CEO of Message.io. We're launching our "bot translation tool" in private beta today. If you've built a bot natively for Slack, for example, you can deploy it to HipChat or Skype without making any coding changes. Our goal is to help bot developers reach more users. We don't think the concept of a ‘Facebook bot’ or a ‘Slack app’ makes any more sense than a website that was 'optimized for Internet Explorer” or ‘optimized for Netscape’. Messaging clients are just like browsers, with small variations in UI. We currently support translation to/from Slack, HipChat and Skype. We'll be adding more enterprise/consumer messaging platforms over the next few months. Ultimately, we think that all bots should work on all messaging platforms. Please let us know if you have any feedback, comments or questions! Thank you.

@tomhadfield already set up a slack bot with message.io and it's like magic. Excellent work.

@tomhadfield @cm0nt0y4 Curious: Which platform did you deploy on (once you got the bot configured in message.io)?

I like the idea, but how do you handle some of the fundemental differences between the augmented features of each platofrm (eg Slack buttons which can create a mini-app inside a message vs HipChat's cards vs Skype's much simpler buttons )?

Hi @mmariansky. On enterprise messaging platforms, the vast majority of UI elements and API methods can be mapped across platforms. There are a small number of UI elements, like Interactive Messages on Slack for example, that don't map to anything similar. In those cases, we aim to maintain the basic user experience - even if it's not identical - by mapping to the available UI elements. It's something we'll continue to refine over time.

Nice job Tom. This is one of the smarter cross-platform messaging/bot plays. There are few enough consumer messaging platforms that matter that translation layers are often not worth using. However, in the enterprise messaging space there are so many platforms, and the market for each is small enough that Message.io is not so much solving a technical problem of translation, it's actually expanding the addressable market for enterprise bot devs -- pretty cool.

This is awesome! Thanks for building this, Tim. What's one of the most common use cases that you're seeing for bots across the board?

This seems like a very intelligent and ambitious product. Look forward to trying it out. Question: Can you provide some thoughts on the strategy behind the messaging markup language?

This will be a great boon to bot developers! Let's work together to avoid another compatibility wall in support of someone else's walled garden!

We're working with message.io to port the MetaCert security bot for Slack, to the new Microsoft for Teams platform after they invited us to become a launch partner. Love working with this team - extremely supportive of bot developers. Kudos. This company will be massive!!
