Messenger is a common conversation platform for a billion users now. In Nepal, most of the online conversations take place via the Facebook messenger itself. Facebook has become a common ground for multiple stuff and it is taking a similar step as the WeChat in China where you can do everything from a single app.
Messenger bots have been here for a while, but we don’t seem to use them that often. There are hundreds of Messenger bots out there which can be beneficial for you. The good thing about bots is that they can remove the need of having to use an entirely different app for some specific purpose. Being on a single app, you can do so much more with the help of a bot. Today we’ve shortlisted 10 of the Messenger Bots that are worth trying.
You can click on the name of the Bots in the list to open them in your Messenger. If you can’t figure out how to use the bot, type ‘help’ without quotes to get a guide.
