Introducing the Pinterest chat extension and bot for Messenger. With the new Pinterest bot and chat extension people will be able to collaborate and share ideas all within Messenger. The bot works as you’d expect — you open up a chat with the Pinterest bot and type in an idea you’re interested in, like food or clothing. The bot will then start recommending ideas from Pinterest, for which you can take a deeper dive in at any point if you’re interested in them. Pinterest is the latest in a wave of companies to see some kind of opportunity in a platform like Messenger, though it still seems the full story on that has yet to play out.
