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.

Congrats @tomhadfield! Glad to be working with you guys to port the Xendo search bot onto the new Microsoft Teams platform. We wouldn't be able to do this so easily, or quickly without you!
Been working with Tom and his team for awhile now porting Obie.ai and I must say I'm thrilled with how easy they've made our lives & expansion plans. Keep it up!
We've loved working with you @chrisbuttenham - we're big fans of Obie.ai and we want to do whatever we can to help you reach more users on more platforms.
Interesting concept and vision! Couldn't agree more with 'messaging clients are just like browsers'. Difference is that they have mobile sensor data, social, and payments built in, among many other things.
Also: I noticed you guys support MS Teams, that was fast! 😀
Hi @jake_bailey. Let’s say you’ve built a Slack app. You built it to send/receive messages via the Slack API. Now, you can now connect your Slack app to Message.io, using an API key we provide, and with one click you can now provision your bot on HipChat.
When a HipChat user sends a message to your bot, the message comes to Message.io (because we're hosting the endpoint) in HipChat’s format. We translate the message from HipChat’s format to Slack’s format, and then relay it in real-time to your Slack app. Your Slack app responds, just as it normally would, to us. We translate the response from Slack’s format into HipChat’s format and then relay it (in real-time) to the HipChat user.
Message.io is literally a man-in-the-middle that is translating and relaying messages back-and-forth, thus enabling your Slack app to communicate with HipChat users (for example).
@tomhadfield congratulations on the launch! Quick question, do you have an example of a HIpChat bot? As far as I know, they do have slash command but not actual bot as you can find on Slack that can message users directly. Cheers

@tomhadfield@jake_bailey I love how simple it seems, although I know it involved a lot of work behind the curtains.

Congratulations! I'd be really curious to read a technical overview of your systems; how you approach breaking APIs and the volume of data.

Interesting. What other platforms are you planning to support?
Hi @jesse_vickey. We currently support translation to/from Slack, HipChat, Skype and - as of a few minutes ago - Microsoft Teams. We'll be adding other enterprise messaging platforms - such as Salesforce Chatter and Cisco Spark - in the months ahead. Ultimately, we plan to support all enterprise platforms that have open API's, including Glip, Flowdock, Campfire, Ryver, Gitter, Socialcast, Mattermost, Rocket.Chat, Convo, Symphony, Blink, etc.
Although we're focused on enterprise messaging platforms for now, consumer platforms (like Messenger, Kik, Telegram, LINE, Viber, WeChat, etc) are also on the longer-term roadmap.
@tomhadfield Congrats on the launch. Now that twitter has some "bot-like" platform features, any thoughts to supporting it too? (Note: I'm not advocating for bots on twitter, as it's my least favorite platform for bots).
@dharmesh We're focused on enterprise messaging platforms for now (eg, Slack, Microsoft Teams, Cisco Spark, HipChat, Google Hangouts Chat, etc) but no doubt we'll be adding consumer platforms including Facebook/Twitter/etc soon!
