Here’s what I’ll cover:
Chat bot - Overview
Chatbots are AI-powered tools designed to interact with users in a natural, conversational manner. They’re used in various sectors, including customer service, e-commerce, and healthcare, to automate and streamline operations. They can handle multiple tasks, such as answering FAQs, booking appointments, and providing product recommendations, thereby enhancing user experience and operational efficiency.
The Problems I Identified Among Existing Chatbots on the Market.
Despite their potential, current chatbots face several challenges.
These include:
Understanding User Intent
Many chatbots struggle to understand user intent, especially when queries are complex or ambiguous. This can lead to incorrect responses and user frustration.
Handling Complex Queries
While chatbots can easily handle simple, routine queries, they often struggle with complex or multi-part questions.
Lack of Personalization
Many chatbots treat all users the same way, missing opportunities to provide personalized experiences based on user behavior and preferences
Inconsistent User Experience
Many chatbots lack a cohesive design, leading to inconsistent user experiences. This can confuse users and make the chatbot harder to use.
Design Process
The design process is a structured approach to creating solutions that meet specific needs or solve problems. It typically involves several stages :
Empathize
Define
Ideate
Prototype
Test
Analyzed Competitors
In assessing IBM Watson, Tidio, Yellow.ai, I've observed distinct strengths and weaknesses across various UX
Conducted user research
I have conducted user interviews and analyzed customer support data to understand common pain points and user expectations. Insights revealed that customers preferred quick resolutions to their queries and valued personalized interactions.
