One of our client, Niels Agterberg is the co-founder of &amp;U, an innovative company that is always pushing boundaries forward. They saw in the chatbots a way to offer new tools to their audience.

Here are some of our concepts : <a href=\"https:\/\/www.everydayheroes.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Everyday Heroes<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.and-u.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Meeting Minds<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tussenkunstenskills.nl\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\">Tussen Kunst &amp; Skills<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_were_your_issues_before_launching_your_chatbot\"><\/span>What were your issues before launching your chatbot ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We wanted to create a digital tool to support people in their personal growth in a playful, enthusing way. Therefore, we developed a card game which, also due to covid, needed to be distributed digitally, conserving the playful character. Therefore we needed a chatbot that was able to really interact with the user. And that actually is quite a challenge for most chatbots.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_you_come_to_the_conclusion_that_a_chatbot_would_meet_these_needs\"><\/span>How did you come to the conclusion that a chatbot would meet these needs ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Because of its repetitive character 90% of the chat flow was standard. Only 10% varies, which should be very manageable with a chatbot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_did_you_choose_the_Botnation_solution\"><\/span>Why did you choose the Botnation solution ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We chose <a href=\"\/en\/\">Botnation<\/a> because the platform is easy to use, it needs almost no programming skills, looks slick and has the ability to work with variable content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_did_you_build_the_chatbot_What_was_the_creative_process\"><\/span>How did you build the chatbot ? What was the creative process ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>We first outlined the user experience, after which we started building and testing. It\u2019s really an iterative process actually. And in the end, you probably would have wished to do it totally different ;-). But that\u2019s what is making it fun.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Have_you_been_able_to_measure_the_first_results\"><\/span>Have you been able to measure the first results ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Definitely, we\u2019ve had a successful project with our chatbot ! Many users and positive feedback which we will definitely use to improve the bot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Would_you_have_some_advice_for_a_company_that_also_wants_to_launch_a_chatbot\"><\/span>Would you have some advice for a company that also wants to launch a chatbot ?<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Let iteration be the key. You probably won\u2019t rock at the first time, but in a while you\u2019ll probably succeed. Up to there, it\u2019s trial and error ! Don\u2019t forget to enjoy the process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Thanks Niels for having answered our questions !
