Tomo is a Facebook Messenger bot specialized in getting cheap flights. You can save up to $700 per ticket and it's as simple as a conversation with a friend.
@dankurani Thanks! Two ways:
Obvious: these are the easiest to spot, when we see something like Oslo -> Shanghai for $300 return we instantly know it's a sweet one.
Data-backed: we compare the price with the average and this helps us spot deals. We also have a threshold so we don't send too many deals, we only want to send the best (for instance, when we can help you save 20%–70%)
I think this is really cool. However, would be great if I can up front set alerts for a specific route. I also don't want to connect with Messenger considering I get a ridiculous amount of messages from friends and bots all day that another bot to add to the list would drive me nuts. Maybe email alert can be a different way to opt in?

@prokotasic Thanks for the feedback Luka. We're going to add this feature soon. Working on it. About the email stuff, not sure. But we plan to develop this for other chat platforms. Maybe you will find one wich is not so often used by your friends.
Oh man, this is really cool. Congrats Vlad! Quick one: how would Tomo compete with marketplaces like FlightFox?

@leotrieu Hi Leo, thanks so much for this. Tomo is only about cheap flight alerts. You'll get a notification only when we can find a good deal for you.

@dragos_roua haha thanks Dragos. I'm just getting started :P

I think is a great idea. Personalisation is the future of travel!
Also I think the chatbot and chatting systems are very good in terms of UX: people knows already how to use messenger and they feel more confortable to book on a platform like facebook instead moving to new websites.

@luxlongo Exactly! However now there are different challenges we're facing (none of them impossible to solve!). We're learning, growing and improving with the help of our users :)
