Consumer airline
example
Automation is not overly complex: conversations are
generally limited to a set of consumer intents
- 36. LivePerson Proprietary & Confidential Information. © 2018 LivePerson, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Use transcripts and your site’s structured intents
- 37. LivePerson Proprietary & Confidential Information. © 2018 LivePerson, Inc. All Rights Reserved.
Conversational design requires a specific approach
Be clear it’s a
bot – avatar and
text
Information in small
chunks – like a human
Mirror language to confirm intent
Response times in
sync with consumer
delivery of intent
Indicate “typing” to convey
human-like rhythm
