Crafting Chatbot Conversations

The document summarizes Vishnu K's summer internship at Active Ai from May to June 2018. During the internship, he worked on scripting and prototyping conversational interfaces for banking clients like HDFC and Axis Bank. He also explored topics like conversation design processes, micro-interactions, interface evaluations and the differences between conversational and graphical UIs. Key learnings included when conversational systems are appropriate over apps and their potential for inclusive technologies. The internship helped him gain experience in a design team and understand their processes.

Learnings
Conversational UI vs. Graphical UI

Conversational App Graphical User Interface

Intuitive, Natural Interaction: strings of text or Learning curve, Interaction is not natural,
voice input. happens through scrolling, swiping or clicking

Conversation as the object of design Service is hidden behind the interface

Design is an interpretational task Design is an explanatory task

Attention towards conversation, and thus directly Attention often towards object(interface) often
on user goals missing out on user goals
When to use Conversational System?

● The interaction is brief with minimal back and forth actions


● If for doing an action in the GUI
○ User has to tap multiple times to do a task
○ Feature is difficult to find
○ Navigation issues, high information hierarchy
● Users can multitask while doing this task
● Not sensitive personal information, in case of voice interfaces
Conversational Systems for HCI4D

● IVRS was preferred over Apps for emergent, illiterate users


● Natural Conversations over IVRS
● Huge Potential in bridging the technology gap
● Inclusive technology
● Removing the barriers of language, tech savviness
“ We always overestimate the change that will occur in the next two years and
underestimate the change that will occur in the next ten. Don’t let yourself be
lulled into inaction ”
