Use this text message auto-responder for Burner, the popular privacy app, which provides throw away phone numbers, & you can let it take over for you when you don’t want to deal with persistent ‘texters’ & you’re not sure how to exit the conversation or don’t want to “inflame the situation”.
Ghostbot responds in a fun & witty manner on your behalf in those situations where you really aren’t interested in pursuing attempts at relationships or don’t want to get involved with people who hit on you via text messages. It’s especially useful when you use Online dating apps like Tinder, where you may be going on dates & give out your phone number to potential hookups.
The example given on the Ghostbot product Site best explains the typical user case for this app:
Mr. Persistent from Tinder starts blowing up your phone, and you just don’t want to deal.
We know, it was just one date, and your signals were clearly, “It’s not going anywhere.” But now he’s constantly asking what you’re up to and when you can hang out again.
Ghostbot takes on the task of handling Mr. Persistent’s texts so you don’t have to evade.
No more emotional baggage from ghosting — sit back and let Ghostbot handle your avoidance texts. Eventually he’ll get the picture… or he won’t. Who cares? You don’t have to worry when Ghostbot is handling it. In one of the many situations in which you don’t want to engage with Mr. Persistent, Ghostbot responds. The response times will randomly vary from minutes to hours, and will eventually stop.
For now Ghostbot works in the US & Canada, which is where you can use Burner, the free phone number app that allows you to make & receive phone call, texts & pretty much anything you can do with a cell phone. You can even get Burner numbers if you’re not in North America & use it them for your business in the US & Canada if you reside abroad.
Ghostbot is a joint venture comprised of Los Angeles, California-USA-based Ad Hoc Labs, the maker of Burner & chatbot experts Voxable, with input from Peter Miriani, a writer & media specialist.
To install Ghostbot for free, you must first get Burner, either for Android: here, or for IOS devices: here. The apps are free to install but communications activity will be charged separately.
