Mica, the Hipster Cat BotDiscover the best hipster places near you!

Vision

Four Viennese specialists are on a mission to revolutionize venue recommendation using existing and trusted sources while giving users a

natural user interface they are familiar with: messenger apps!

MissionMica, the Hipster Cat Bot is a venue recommendation service, that scans a variety of international data

sources and presents the user the best results.

She is a interactive chat bot, currently available via Facebook and Skype, that allows the user to communicate in a natural fashion via text messaging.

Our mission is to make Mica quickly understand contextual requests and give you personalized recommendations so you can discover the best places wherever you may be.

“ People are now spending more time in messaging apps than in social media and that is a huge turning point. Messaging apps are the platforms of the future and bots will be how their users access all sorts of services.” — Peter Rojas, Betaworks

You should message a business just the way you would message a friend” —  Mark Zuckerberg at F8

Why Now?

"Bots are going to explode and the phenomenon is sure to run through into the foreseeable future - and there's no question that they're already dominating the news right now.

Chat bots can offer a new and flexible way for brands to create new experiences for mobile users. So for example, instead of having to download and register for an additional dedicated app to access a new service, mobile messaging users will simply send a text to their bot of choice to do a variety of activities.“—  Evan Wray - co-founder and VP of Swyft Media

Problem

Overtaxed Users

Too many interfacesDo I really need to learn to use a new app when I want sushi instead of coffee?

Too many servicesWhich source has the best information for the type of venue I’m looking for?

Too many local discrepanciesMy local service is not giving me any results for my holiday location, but which service will?

Too many channelsDo you really need 200+ Apps just to find a good place to eat?
