FAQs
What is a chat bot?
Chat bots are computer programmes that use artificial intelligence to provide assistance in a variety of tasks. Alex (the Hot Drops Bot) acts as a fashion finder chat bot, saving you time when you're searching for new arrivals for your wardrobe.
Why should I use the Hot Drops Fashion Finder Bot?
It will save you time. A LOT of it. Rather than you having to look for jeans or dresses on separate websites, Alex will do it for you (and much quicker than you can do it yourself). Alex will also filter out any that aren't in-stock in your size.
Why not just use the Hot Drops website?
We created the Fashion Finder Bot as an easy way for you to quickly find fashion, without having to leave Facebook or the Messenger app. Sometimes you're in a hurry and we get that. Both services use similar technology but we're able to make more personalised recommendations to website users - sign up today if you haven't already!
Is my Hot Drops account linked to the Fashion Finder Bot?
No, we've kept them completely separate for now so you don't have to login or jump through hoops to use the Fashion Finder Bot on Messenger. We may give you the option to sync accounts in the future.
