Artifacts
I learned about the challenges our users encountered through user interviews and behavior analysis. Understanding the frustrations caused by prolonged wait times became the base of the content strategy. I wanted to design dynamic content for prompt query resolution with key info, ensuring a personalized touch for each user.

Deliverables
Following the beta testing phase, we launched the first version of the chatbot. Initial user feedback was overwhelmingly positive, and this success can be attributed to the version's focus on handling fundamental customer queries such as return/refund status, order updates, product information, and links to help guides. The beta testing period played a crucial role in this success, allowing the chatbot engine to make and learn from critical mistakes before engaging with the entire customer base.
