We are very happy to have seen the word “Foxsy” on a lot of media these days. Slowly slowly, our vision, connecting people together starts to work in this world. Last week, we got featured by some wonderful medias like Forbes and VentureBeat. That makes us feel like we are on the right track, and we really appreciate that.

Foxsy was featured by VentureBeat on April 24th in the article “Delivering value in Facebook’s immersive future.” As Facebook’s current strategy is converting its messenger platform into the place of social communication, entertainment, and shopping, bots will play the key role in the big change in the near future for sure. However, it doesn’t mean, of course, all bots providers will be successful. The author, Havas, pointed bots providers need to offer real value to consumers and showed some possible key values; Educating, Empowering, Optimizing, Connecting, Expression, Entertainment, Access, Security and Privacy. Within those, Foxsy was used as an example of the bot which offers good connecting value people together.

Also, Foxsy was featured by them on April 25th in the article,
