I love this kind of service, but extensibility is probably the most important feature and unless I'm wrong, your platform is not open (yet). We developers all use different services.
Hubot is extremely simple (based on regular expressions to match commands) and quite successful because it's so easy to write and use your own module [1]. Hubot being free and open source, what is your differentiation plan? I'm sure there is room for different players.

I made the exact same thing:
http://www.getinstabot.comI couldn't get anyone to use it, so I think you're fighting an uphill battle. Good luck, though,

Is this supposed to be "Hubot, but usable without hiring a developer?" There are lots of non-software companies that could benefit from chat-ops-like automation.

Would be nice if the page showed me what this gives me that any of the 1000 other bots don't give me (like Hubot).
Would be also amazing if it had source or some way for users to contribute their own integrations; is that in the pipeline?

I don't really see the appeal of this because it looks like it's only good for one-liners. I'd rather have a complete interface that allows me to write a huge description, provide screenshots, link to other bug #s or githud commits, etc. It's a solution looking for a problem in my opinion because I would be pissed if all of a sudden all my issues, tasks and bug were one-line description. Please correct me if I'm wrong but that's what I get from the first impression of looking at your app.

Looks nice, though it's unclear what the intentions are. Is this to become open source? Or are you going to start charging for it?
Also, any chance of adding support for the Kandan chat app?

This seems really slick! Nice work!

Hubot as a service, but its pointed towards developers? Seems a bit odd.
You should try to target services that aren’t mainly for developers instead. (ie Salesforce, Zendesk, etc)

I think this seems like a great idea. But I have never worked one place that used any of the seemingly trendy integrations. How about Lync -> Jira, Confluence, Perforce?
