Editor's Notes
- In an app or a website there are plenty of affordances on screen that tell you where you are and what you can do and how you can navigate between views Menus Buttons Breadcrumbs Textboxes
- In bots we dont have views, instead we have dialogs or conversation topics and navigation happens through conversation - When you are looking at the Sollentuna location, you might say scedule to move the conversation to the schedule topic
- Maximum 2-4 prompts Start with placeholder texts Ask the fewest number of questions possible
- We did a flow chart for every conversation flow. Reviewed with stakeholders, got feedback, refined. We then wrote out every conversation flow in Excel to show back/forth. Can use any tool you want, but want to show conversation, get feedback before coding…
