Couldn't they have picked a better platform than Facebook to try this out on, given all of the research into the effect of social media on one's mental state?

- gee_totes 9y ago> given all of the research into the effect of social media on one's mental state? Given that research, wouldn't that make Facebook be the best platform for an anti-depression chat-bot? That's where the users will be.
- blacksmith_tb 9y agoI am picturing a Slack integration - but maybe that's just too depressing to contemplate.
- pamelafox 9y ago(Pamela from Woebot). Great points here about the pro's and con's of Facebook integration. Regardless of those, we definitely plan to develop non-FB options in the near future. There's a mailing list here if you'd like to find out when those are offered: https://www.woebot.io/#besides-facebook https://www.woebot.io/#besides-facebook On a personal note, I oft recommend the "Kill News Feed" Chrome extension for Facebook users. (Woebot doesn't recommend it as he doesn't know about it yet, he lives in a happy world free of news feeds :).
