@rotemthegolfer Any chance of getting higher res GIFs too? They're currently super small.
@flowsion I just check the size and GIPHY and Tenor also using about 220px. The problem with the low res is because we are trying to get the GIFs under 2M. Increasing the quality in slack is also in our todo list :)
@flowsion 7 our of my last 10 gifs with GIHPY were 245px... but again, the whole problem is with the file size. Slack is limiting the file size to 2M and GIHPY just have more permissions so they can show GIFs above 2M.
Hi all,
For those who don't know me, my name is Rotem and I'm one of Guggy's co-founders. You've probably seen me commenting here with Guggy GIF Message from time to time :)
Guggy's purpose is to fun-up your conversations. We do it by providing you with a way to turn your text into a relevant whimsy GIF message in real-time and add context to GIFs.
To get more technical, we use smart tech and NLP to analyze your text message, match an accurate humorous GIF and recreate it with the text message animated on the GIF, hence the term "GIF Message". To make things more fun, everytime you use Guggy you will get a different GIF.
In the last 2.5 months (while we were in beta) we had over 1.5M GIFs created and sent by 100K users.
Guggy is now available on multiple platforms and apps such as: iMessage Extension (iOS 10), Slack, Chrome Extension, Guggy Keyboard for Android, KiK & more (you can see the full list at https://guggy.com). Beside that, we have an API and our main goal is to get to all the big players such as Tinder, Twitter, Facebook, etc so you'll be able to use Guggy seamlessly.
We support emojis, text smileys, slang, expressions & over 30 languages. For example, "I luv PH! 😍😀🐱" will produce:
I think that one of the cool things that we do is to make almost every GIF usable in chats by adding a specific message to it. For example:
A little bit about us. When we started a year ago we wanted to create a humor platform, a place to create and read funny content with emphasize on GIFs. We've really focused on creating GIFs and making it as easy as possible. In that process we realized that we had found a way to do it automatically and by that allowing everyone in the world to create GIFs.
Thank you all for your support. I'll be here all day long (not sleeping today) to answer any question you may have.

@hlandao Thank Hadar. Currently WhatsApp does not support GIFs. However, if you will use our Android Keyboard you will get a video instead.
@rotemthegolfer @hlandao WhatsApp now supports GIFs in the latest update, any chance you'll be able to use this in WhatsApp soon?
@rotemthegolfer -- Finally you've launched it on Product hunt..:) I'm happy to see guggy here...:)
Btw, I hunted "Guggy" when you were in your beta stage (later it was removed based on your request). Anyway, I'm excited to use guggy. Keep up the great work..:) love your new chrome extension.
