Aims to become the go-to-platform for getting anything done through its personal assistant app
Helpchat, a personal assistant messenger app, has announced that it was opening up its platform for API integrations (technical integrations) to businesses. With this integration, businesses would be able to integrate directly into the Helpchat app and acquire and serve new users for their businesses.
Over the next few weeks, Helpchat will include transactional functionality from companies including Ola, OLX, Freshmenu, CommonFloor, RoadRunnr, Limetray, Mast Kalandar, RedBus, MyWash to integrate APIs into its personal assistant app. There are currently 25+ businesses in the integration waiting list.
“Our chat sessions are growing at a healthy rate, with a high transaction intent from users. The next logical step was to leverage our deep enterprise relationships to help businesses to build on top of this audience. I can foresee us partnering with more than 1000 businesses over the next 6 months.” – Vishrut Chalsani, VP – Enterprise Solutions, Helpchat.
Post integration, users would be able to call a cab, order laundry, or food directly within the Helpchat app and the fulfillment of the order would be done by the partners.
Helpchat (earlier called Akosha) launched it’s personal assistant chat app in January 2015 and raised Rs.100 crores from Sequoia Capital in June 2015. It recently opened a Bangalore office to add more engineers and product people to its team.
“Our vision is to help users win their daily battle with tasks and make their lives easier. In order to build a one-stop horizontal platform, we will rely on curated partners to expose to our users,” said Ankur Singla, Helpchat, Founder and CEO.
