Yahoo brings on the Fun Bots
Traveling Monkeypet and a Trivia with friends
New Delhi, November 22, 2016: Yahoo’s emoji-loving pet monkey, announced earlier this year and available on Facebook Messenger, is growing up! Monkeypet is hitting the road, ocean and skies in search of travel adventures. It can now report on weather and news from around the world, as well as search the web for whatever content you’re interested in finding. Monkeypet has also learned to retrieve images, GIFs, and videos so you can have rich conversations with your friends. Say or type “skills” to check out these and our digital monkey’s other new talents.
Yahoo is also introducing Popchat (@popchat), available on Kik for Android and iOS, which is the perfect bot for trivia lovers to play with old friends and make new friends who share your trivia interests. Pick from a variety of categories – including music, TV and movies, crazy facts and more – then game on. You can chat during games to keep the competition exciting or challenge yourself in a single player game, all within Kik.
With these bots, Yahoo continues to bring you engaging and entertaining experiences. Whether you are looking to expand your games collection, make new friends or train your Monkeypet, there’s a bot for that.
