Having to juggle messages on multiple social media accounts, email, plus personal and work-related inquiries can be pretty overwhelming, but these automated messaging services are designed to make life a little bit easier.
For example, 'Relaxed' is a service that will send out-of-office type replies when you’re unavailable on Facebook and Twitter. While this is quite straightforward, there are also several more examples of more human outsourced messaging services that are capable of bringing an emotional level to auto-replies.
The Crowdpilot app is designed so that if you’re faced with a difficult social situation, you can connect to it and crowdsource advice on the best thing to say. Other similar examples of outsourced messaging include BroApp, which will automatically send texts to your girlfriend.
