Our take
Over 80% of businesses currently use chatbots to provide a variety of automated services to customers. However, chatbots are generally uniform and provide standardised responses, unless the business staffs a chatbot programmer.
ManyChat provides a platform for the creation of customised chatbots without needing any experience in coding. The startup focuses on providing small businesses with opportunities to equip the messaging services of their business social media pages with automated customer service tools.
The company has grown a huge customer base of over a million businesses, powering more than a billion conversations annually. Although there is competition in this field, ManyChat has the funding and reputation to hold its footing. In 2026, it announced it had worked alongside TikTok to bring its messaging automation tech to the platform, opening up a whole new channel for its users.
