Facebook Messenger's Wing It bot encourages you to travel

Facebook wants you to travel more often.

|

Facebook has a new Messenger bot for its users. Dubbed as 'Wing It,' the bot tries to get you out of the house. Users just have to fill the criteria, and it will find you trips that fit your bill. It recommends accommodation and the activities that can be done in the area.

Wing It asks you few questions such as Where do you live? How far do you want to go? Is it just you and a partner, or a big group of friends? How much is each person looking to spend?

While the previous versions of the bot offered trips involving last-minute flights, they've since learned to focus on things that are within a driving radius.

"People would say they'd go on a last minute flight... 98% of people would say 'I'm in!'. Then you send'em that, and give them the option to book it, and... nothing."

The concept of planning a trip using a search engine isn't something we haven't seen, but there are certain things that are different this time around. Users don't need to download a separate app - just start chatting with the bot. If the data shows users are getting a hang of the feature, hey might go ahead without a need for a downloaded update.

Facebook is also launching "Community Finder" tool which is under the #SheMeansBusiness program that was announced back in 2016 in order to empower working class women. Now fresh reports are surfacing over the web stating that Facebook is set to launch a new tool that will give female entrepreneurs to connect and share resource and pieces of advice with each other in order to grow their businesses. Facebook is rolling out this tool to mark the celebration of Women's day.

It is being further reported that the social media giant will also launch a 'Credit Her' campaign that would help users to give credit to a women entrepreneur for their contribution. Beginning from today users can also show their support to the working class women and can show their gratitude and support to women through cards, photo frames and backgrounds for text posts on the platform.
