Now everyone in Metro Manila can have
their very own Kuya, a personal assistant ready to make daily life easier. Users
of HeyKuya, the latest company built by Machine Ventures can avail of the
hassle-free services, ranging from deliveries, reservations, bookings and many
more without any hidden costs, simply through text.
Shahab Shabibi, Co-Founder of HeyKuya,
stated, “We started HeyKuya to help save people time in the fast paced city
life of Metro Manila” he added “In the end we want to socially
contribute to the society and we feel responsible for that. If we are able to
save someone a few minutes a day, I would say that we have accomplished our
goal to help the Philippines to be an even more productive nation.”
There are currently no membership fees
and Kuya only charges for what you order. “Every day we help people across
our city to book tables at the hottest restaurants, reserve movie tickets for
the latest show, or even provide directions if they are lost and don’t have
access to the internet, all for free” said Nathania Chua, Marketing Manager
for HeyKuya.
Despite the wide use of mobile devices in
the Philippines, many are still not internet-savvy, or have to look for an area
that offers a WiFi connection. This is where HeyKuya takes over by connecting
through text messages, an affordable and reliable form of communication.
Early users who have used the service are
ecstatic about the possibilities. “We have had so many requests since we
launched ranging from the simple like ordering a pizza to the unusual like
asking Kuya for flirting tips”, says Nico Dagus, Operations Manager for HeyKuya.
“Kuya knows it all!”
“Users love Kuya so much that we even
had one female user ask Kuya out on a date!” stated Joshua Gantuangco,
Customer Experience Manager for HeyKuya
HeyKuya is currently offering everyone in
Metro Manila a chance to try the service and have their very own virtual Kuya.
“HeyKuya!: Text One, Then Done!”
HeyKuya is the latest innovation from
Machine Ventures, an end-to-end company builder that transforms ideas into
