If you work in UX the chances are that a client or boss has come to talk to you about building a chatbot at some point over the past year or so.
In this workshop we’ll talk about what chatbots are and how they can be best used to help you and your clients business. We’ll give you advice on conducting workshop activities with your stakeholders to help define where a chatbot can be best deployed and the jobs they are best placed to tackle. Following this we’ll have a practical session on designing chatbot conversation flows.
In our company (The Unit) we specialise in design, innovation and strategy projects. Over the past couple of years we have built a number of chatbots and we use this design approach when we create bots for our clients.
