Conversation Design is crafting an experience between a virtual assistant and a user. Conversation Design involves building a logical conversation flow within the constraints of technology.
If the adage “first impression is the best impression” holds true, then the conversation a user has with a bot defines the user’s future interactions with the bot.
Building a virtual assistant can be broadly divided into a four-phase process: Prepare, Initial Design, Final Design, and Launch.
