Rocketbots was selected to be one of the top 8 startups in Hong Kong to attend Seedstars, the global seed-stage startup competition for emerging markets and fast-growing startup scene, which has brought its pre-selection rounds to an end. Rocketbots participated in the event pitching its new HR chatbot, which aims to solve the problem of communication breakdown between companies and front-line employees by providing an Artificial Intelligence powered chatbot so they can ask questions about the company, HR, guidelines, etc. The HR chatbot engages employees by conversing with them on their most-used channels, like Facebook Messenger, where company news, updates, and surveys can be delivered to them with ease. The AI chatbot aspect of this solution handles the frequent questions and answers that may happen between HR and the workforce, and tackling these questions frees up time for HR to focus on the topics that really matter.

To support the chatbot, Rocketbots pitched its chatbot management platform that aims to be a SaaS freemium model that would ideally help companies manage their chatbots, gain insights into workers, and deliver company updates meaningfully and without being lost in a sea of emails that any one employee might receive in a day. After participating in 3 rounds, [Rocketbots proudly took the second spot as the most promising startup in all of Hong Kong](https://respond.io/blog/press-rocketbots-raises-seed-round-for-2018-to-kick-off-its-new-saas-ai-chatbot-platform).
