Yahoo has launched three new bots to help users get the latest news, stock market trends and weather forecasts respectively. A fourth bot is a virtual pet monkey that will exchange chats and emojis with the user.
The Yahoo Finance, Yahoo News, Yahoo Weather and MonkeyPet bots are now available on Facebook Messenger.
To get started, users can simply type @YahooNews, for instance, in the Facebook search bar and message the Yahoo News app to get the latest news. The bot will immediately answer, and might provide additional links to information or options.
Yahoo Finance (@YahooFinance), exclusive to Messenger, is a bot that allows users to search the latest finance and stock news and information. Information can also be shared with your friends.
The Yahoo News bot (@YahooNews) helps users to discover trending stories and dive deeper into the news.
Yahoo Weather (@YahooWeather) gathers weather information and allows selected Flickr images to be shared.
MonkeyPet (@MonkeyPet) is a virtual pet that shares selfies from its “travels.”
