I thought this was a bot, but I can see you have live agents, which is awesome! But I imagine it won't stay free forever then, what's the pricing model is going to be like?
@doutatsu
Thanks for checking us out! It means a lot to us!
Yes, it's actual humans for now but we will be moving to a bot and human intervention type system soon. The bot will certainly reduce operation costs but the human part we think is required for now because of the complexity of the questions we are asked and the ever-changing travel information and conditions.
Of course, if the bot gets better, why now give all the work to it...
When it comes to the business model, we are looking at three segments
1) Free chat service for credits which you can get by watching ads (we can present the most accurate video or campaign ads because we know the user well. coz you know, we chat with them).
2) Premium monthly subscription plans. This is very simple, where the user can subscribe monthly and have his own agent all time for his travel.
3) Affiliate commissions from bookings.
What do you think? Are there any other channels or segments we can look into that you know of?

@yuki_katano That sounds great. I think it'll be good to have something more flexible to monthly subscription plans. I imagine a lot of people who are coming to Japan for a holiday, would want to use the app. Hence say paying to get unlimited access for 1 day, 5 days, 2 weeks, etc would make it easier compared to paying for a month, when say I am in Japan only for a week.
@doutatsu Thanks for the reply!
Yes, we have shorter subscription plans in mind as well.
But one interesting thing we would like to share with you is, majority of our users chat with us 2-3 months ahead of their travel dates and that's why the monthly segment is important and the earlier mention of monthly plan.
Thanks for the suggestion again. We are brainstorming on the same! :)

Hey guys! Do you have a web version of this? or probably on any messaging platform?
Neat idea though. We are trying to do something similar for Bangalore.
@jindalish We have our service on Facebook Messenger, LINE and on our Japan travel media site as well. I am writing the links below. As a matter of fact we validated the idea on these other platforms first (quick and easy), then decided to have a dedicated product for the service.
Other Platforms -
messenger (for English speaking users) : http://m.me/fastjapan
LINE (for Chinese) : https://line.me/ti/p/%40zxh8382p
Travel Magazine (Popup on bottom right) : https://fastjapan.com/
Are you trying to build one for Bangalore as a city explorer? or for something specific like food, travel etc.
will you be going completely bot first?
thanks for the comment :)
