Congrats on your launch!

How are you planning to compete with specialized tools like Donut or CoffeePals that do one thing (1-1 chats) very well, with lots of user-friendly configuration?

Why would somebody choose DailyBot over Donut/CoffeePals or vice versa?

Are you targeting different kinds of customers than those specialized tools?


Thanks! love these questions.

Our aim is to provide an all-in-one solution so companies don't need to get a bunch of different feature-bot software subscriptions to manage what they can achieve with DailyBot.

Our product is user-friendly and highly customizable - which is a great advantage, you can adapt it to be your team's chat assistant. You may want to run 1-1 chats (we call it virtual coffee) like Donut, set up in-chat watercooler & icebreaker prompts every week, but also get reminders of your team's birthdays or use DailyBot for stand-ups and/or as a shared knowledge base for the team.

Users that have moved to DailyBot see a lot of value in our all-in-one approach as they are reducing tooling fatigue, have more compelling analytics/reports, and for some companies it is better in terms of risk assessments: if you have to comply with strong security, it's better to audit one vendor rather than 6+ bots, plus DailyBot is reliable with SOC2-Type2 coming soon.

We might target similar customers for some use cases, but different ones in other cases like workflows, in-chat automation, etc.

The wide range of use cases covered by DailyBot is exciting for us, we're working to create templates and content that can inspire and speed up the setup of every type of customer.
