Summary

To deploy a chatbot successfully, an organization needs to work on user experience (UX), not only technology implementation. The UX work requires designing intents, personality, and dialogue, based on an understanding of the components that make up a chatbot and, if you already have a chatbot, knowledge of how the effort has gone so far. This report explains the two types of design expertise required (human-centered design and, more specifically, conversation design), three obstacles companies face, and how to tap people with the right skills. It then introduces the other reports in this series — about assessment, components, action, personality, and dialogue.
