- 15. CHATBOTS ADOPTING THE POWER OF CONVERSATIONAL UX
- 16. Email and phone calls are increasingly being replaced by apps and social media platforms, which customers are already using. We think that you should just be able to message a business in the same way you message a friend. You should get a quick response. And it shouldn’t take your full attention like a phone call would. And you shouldn’t have to install a new app. — Mark Zuckerberg, 2016

- 19. WHAT IS A CHATBOT? (cont.) Conversational experiences use artificial intelligence and natural language processing to mimic conversations with real people in both written and voice format. The second challenge is the technology’s ability to recognise an almost infinite number of ways to ask for the same intent. Understanding such intent depends heavily on Natural Language Processing (NLP), and requires relevant context in order to provide accurate results or services. Simple phrases such as "Let's get a coffee" could mean many things without context. I want a coffee tomorrow I like coffee Order a coffee We should have coffee Let’s get coffee Hey, let’s get coffee I could go for some caffeine Let’s have a cappuccino Get a Starbucks latte Context Order a coffee from Starbucks now, and deliver it to my office INTRODUCTION
- 20. TYPES OF CHATBOTS ADVISORY • Self-learning chatbots are the next evolution in chatbots. • They are able to learn based on customer interactions to determine the appropriate next steps. INFORMATIONAL • Informational chatbots are the simplest type. • They usually involve providing general information such as FAQs, news stories & push notifications. TRANSACTIONAL • Transactional chatbots allow users to complete transactions and interact, (such as booking a hotel). • Typically they require a user to be authenticated into their user account.

- 23. CHATBOT BENEFITS Chatbots are data driven, scalable and enable a richer customer experience USER ENGAGEMENT Customers are increasingly demanding instant forms of communication. Messaging apps and social media have replaced emails and phone calls. A chatbot bridges this communication gap between you and your customers. 24/7 AND SCALABLE Chatbots enable you to service your customers throughout the day. They are trusted and reliable employees, always available and accurate. Once you have designed and built your conversational experience , a chatbot can perform the task it has been built to do 24/7. INTELLIGENCE ADVANTAGE Chatbots enable a deeper understanding of how customers speak, meaning you are able to better respond to their needs. Integrating chatbot ‘intelligence’ within an experience also creates a more robust business model that is difficult for competitors to replicate. INTRODUCTION
- 24. Despite their popularity, it isn’t as easy as it seems to create a truly valuable chatbot. You need to design an experience that provides value both to the customer and business.
- 25. CHATBOT BLUEPRINT Our ‘Chatbot Blueprint’ ensures all building blocks are addressed What job does the user want to complete? What content is needed to complete the user’s objective? How will the user interact with and navigate the experience? How does the conversational experience fit in with everyday business? How will the bot improve, learn and evolve over time? 2. CUSTOMER ROLE 3. RELEVANT CONTENT 4. NAVIGATION 5. BUSINESS FIT 6. LEARNING Who are we building the experience for? What is need / frustration is being met? What are the tasks that will deliver against the need? What is the information you need to surface in the conversation? How will you access the information? How will you organise and display the information? How will the design enable a useable experience? What intent(s) does your experience enable? What are the conversation flows that fulfil each intent? How will the experience support the business’s objectives? How will it support existing human services? What personality and language will you use and does it fit with the business? How will you drive usage over time? How will you generate customer learnings? How will you improve the accuracy of the bot? What are the stage gates to full launch? 1. PURPOSE: WHAT IS THE OBJECTIVE OF CREATING A CONVERSATIONAL EXPERIENCE FOR YOUR BUSINESS? 7. ENABLERS: What are the skills and roles needed to deliver the experience? What is the time and budget commitment required? What are the support tools needed to deliver the experience? OUR APPROACH
- 26. WHO ARE YOU DESIGNING FOR? Brands are designing their customer journeys around a single persona, unconsciously excluding those that don’t fit. Chatbot users are not the same, consider the five key types BEING A CUSTOMER CHAMPION Chatterbox: Make sure you remove dead ends Enthusiast: Make sure you ask for feedback Sceptic: Prove value at the start Joker: Include Easter eggs Problem child: Help them out
- 27. EMBEDDING LEARNINGS Ensure you are able to generate learnings from day one PRODUCT ROADMAP EXPERIENCE LEARNINGS ITERATIVE BUILD CYCLE Identify target segment customer needs and a set of chatbot features which solve this need. Define specific user stories to build and a set of metrics to measure their performance and impact. Organise metrics around three key areas: a) Do customers like the experience? b) Is the intelligence improving and at what rate? c) Are you able to effectively operationalise interactions resulting from the experience? Create a dashboard, measure daily and review weekly with the core experience team to identify relevant changes. Use an iterative approach to build the chatbot experience and ensure you are able to adapt the experience in the moment. BUILD, TEST, ITERATE
