I added it to Skype on my Windows PC and it worked great! But when I'm using the Skype app on Windows Phone I don't see the contact. Do you think I just need to wait (synchronization issues?) or are bots treated differently by Skype and don't show up on the Skype app? I tried to update the Skype app on the phone but I've already got the latest version. I tried adding it to my "favorites" on Skype then killing and restarting the Skype app but it still didn't show up. Thanks!

Works fine on my mobile phone with the native app and within the desktop app
@adrian_smith I had a similar experience the other way round. Wasn't able to write to the cat on Skype for Mac and had to add it on Skype for iOS. From then on it showed up in Skype for Web (after messaging the cat on iOS) but it seems like I can only write to it on iOS right now π
Maybe the bots are treated different than normal contacts? I expect this will be a more polished experience in the future. π
@adrian_smith hi, the Skype platform is still in Beta so some features do not work at this point of time and the onboarding process needs some improvement... nevertheless, the chat experience works great on your mobile phone with the Skype app and also with the desktop app!

Hi! I'm Barbara! I'm the cat mother / maker of Mica, the Hipster Cat Bot, the FIRST Skype chatbot in Austria. If you have any questions about the implementation or anything else, please don't hesitate to ask!
Messenger π€ bots are the new apps π±. No need to install anything, no need to figure out which app to remove to free up storage, low friction interaction. Also apparently a lot of the bots are π½ cats (see Poncho the π¦ weather cat). This is a new version of the hipster cat bot on the Skype platform. It gives you recommendations of hip restaurants, bars and cafes to check out.
@__tosh in contrast to the facebook messenger implementation (see https://www.producthunt.com/tech... ) messages in Skype are structured differently. The Skype bot platform allows to send text, binaries (images) and links - structured messages with buttons such as on Messenger or on Telegram are not (yet) possible.
Skype has 300Mio monthly users (Facebook Messenger has 900Mio, WeChat 700Mio), which makes it the THIRD largest bot platform!
