Chatbot Sensay wants to connect the world by sharing knowledge

Chatbots are a major trend in tech today. Facebook Messenger has more than 30,000 bots; Kik has 20,000 -- but how many of those are actually useful? Nobody can go through that many bots individually, but it is certain that few early players in the "chatbot rush" have taken off in a major way. Sensay, one contestant at the TechCrunch Disrupt SF Battlefield, is aiming to be that first breakout cross-platform chatbot -- but, unlike most that provide services and information at a convenience via chat, its currency is people. Founders Ariel Jalali (CEO) and Crystal Rose (CMO) told TechCrunch that the premise of the service is to connect people by sharing knowledge, information and experiences.
