About Heymarket
Heymarket's feed argues for conversational AI without confirming it ships any.
Seven entries, all explainer content: conversational AI in retail, multilingual support, chatbot versus conversational AI, AI data enrichment, RCS versus SMS, and shared inboxes. Bodies are truncated after roughly two sentences, so each entry gives a scenario and a promise with the substance behind a link. Nothing here is a release note.
