Meet the first five #BotPrize winners!

In this batch we focused on bots that have already gained massive popularity in some markets. The $200,000 that we divided between their developers will help create an even better experience for their existing and future users.

@icon8bot – an AI-based bot that allows you to apply great-looking filters to photos using neural networks and machine learning technology.

@integram_bot – a bot that allows you to set up integrations with third-party services for developers such as Trello, Gitlab, Bitbucket, and more.

@werewolfbot – a ‘Werewolf Game’ bot for group chats that gained popularity in SE Asia long before we launched our gaming platform last month.

@strangerbot – a bot that connects two random users to chat anonymously that gained huge popularity after going viral in Southern Europe.

@octopocket_bot – a smart-wallet bot that allows users from the EU to transfer money to each other and is integrated into the ATM system of Spain.

We will continue awarding creators of great bots this and the following year in $200,000 batches.
