- 1. Designing Conversational AI at Microsoft: a Design Toolkit Josephine Scholtes | December 2021 | UX Services
- 2. Josephine Scholtes | UX Consultant
- 3. Conversational AI - bots, virtual agents, digital assistants, and all other text-based dialog interfaces
- 9. Conversational UX (CUX) - a modality of interaction that’s based on natural language. When interacting with each other, human beings use conversation to communicate ideas, concepts, data, and emotional information. CUX allows us to interact with our devices, apps, and digital services the way we communicate with each other, using phrasing and syntax via voice and text or chat that come naturally. Reference: Microsoft CUX Guide
- 11. Context dependent - Conversational UX is very context dependent, for example: Voice-only Hybrid Chat-only Single-user Multi-user Private Public Quiet Noisy Pleasenote that this is an example.These factors are no strict determinants.
- 13. Character Design Dave How do I look? Just like a mobile app your assistant icon is really important. What’s my name? Think about your name and how it reflects your brand and the type of assistant you are designing. How should I sound? Tone of voice is the primary way you will inject your brand into an assistant. When should I ask for help? No matter how smart your assistant is, there will be cases where you still need to let a human take control of the conversation.
- 14. Conversation Design - Dialogs are for bots, like screens are for apps. They separate concerns and organize flows in a similar way. Home page Sub page Search feature Traditional application Root dialog Sub dialog Search dialog Bot
- 15. Understanding intents - You can think of user intent as the reason why a person is interacting with your conversational experience. Identifying the true intent ensures your users are matched with the most accurate content to help them complete their goal. User query: “The jeans I bought last week are too big. Can I get them one size smaller?” Intent: exchange an item for a different size Reference: Microsoft CUX Guide
- 16. Disambiguating intents - Disambiguation is the process of narrowing down a user intent by asking clarifying questions, or in some cases presenting options to choose from, to get a better understanding of the true intent and direct to the correct content. Ask more questions to narrow down the intent Provide options to reduce the need to ask multiple questions Ask targeted questions that inform the user of what information is necessary to fully understand their intent. Reference: Microsoft CUX Guide
- 17. Design Toolkit - Canvases and cards for different CUX topics

Editor's Notes
- In 2016 Tay was launched on Twitter by Microsoft as an AI bot, within 24 hrs taken offline Microsoft’s intent: Tay, the creation of Microsoft's Technology and Research and Bing teams, was an experiment aimed at learning through conversations. She was targeted at American 18 to 24-year olds--primary social media users, according to Microsoft--and "designed to engage and entertain people where they connect with each other online through casual and playful conversation.“ Tay was designed to learn from interactions it had with real people in Twitter. Seizing an opportunity, some users decided to feed it racist, offensive information. And in less than 24 hours after her arrival on Twitter, Tay gained more than 50,000 followers, and produced nearly 100,000 tweets. The problem? She started mimicking her followers. According to Microsoft, Tay is "as much a social and cultural experiment, as it is technical." But instead of shouldering the blame for Tay's unraveling, Microsoft targeted the users: "we became aware of a coordinated effort by some users to abuse Tay's commenting skills to have Tay respond in inappropriate ways.“ "Any AI system learning from bad examples could end up socially inappropriate," Yampolskiy said, "like a human raised by wolves.“ The failure of Tay, she believes, is inevitable, and will help produce insight that can improve the AI system.

- BMW, together with Microsoft, is looking to make future conversations with the Bavarian automaker’s Intelligent Personal Assistant even more personalized, not to mention more natural-sounding and “multi-modal”. BMW customers could for example make an appointment at their preferred BMW dealership, simply by talking with the personal assistant – a conversation that might start with a reminder that service is due, and finish with the system arranging the appointment. Users could also manage their personal e-mails and calendar appointments the same way while on the move.
