Conversational interfaces help extend your product’s reach and grow your brand. There’s a wide array of conversational opportunities: marketing, commerce, customer support, consumer apps, and enterprise apps. Whether you’re starting from scratch or building on decades’ worth of company knowledge, designers can write conversational copy and craft conversational UI elements with a structure that supports rich experiences.
The workshop will demystify how machines understand humans and how designers can teach them to better anticipate user’s needs. You’ll gain a foundational knowledge of conversational design and hands-on experience implementing a conversational design process.
