OVERVIEW
DOESN'T REPLACE APPS
• Apps are better for more complex interactions

“Contextual communication is what will
make chatbots the revolutionary technology

OVERVIEW
ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE (AI)
• Can be used to make smarter bots
• Can be used to make general assistants like Siri (Apple), Cortana (Microsoft), Alexa (Amazon) which can respond to a wide variety of questions.
• Bots can be trained to do tasks, e.g. identify faces in images
• Can be expensive and technical challenges
• Not all bots need AI, without AI you can still:
• Send standard replies to questions • Guide the user through flows (booking, making requests) • Hook into external systems (reservations, customer service, APIs)
• Bots can answer simple questions, with more complex queries being passed to a human

CASE STUDY
THAILAND MOBILE SUMMIT BOT
• Thailand Mobile Summit was a major conference for the South East Asia mobile industry held at the Royal Orchid Sheraton Hotel, Bangkok in November 2016.
• Based on profiles of attendees, ReignDesign built LINE and Facebook Messenger bots
• Attendees could interact with bots for live agenda information, as well as practical information like lunch break, maps, toilets, internet.
• Cheaper and faster to build than an app - built within 2 weeks before event
• Lower barrier to entry to install for attendees
• Collected feedback from attendees to send to organisers

CASE STUDY
FLEXIBILITY
• The start of the conference was delayed 30 minutes, session timings were updated on a Google Spreadsheet and the updated agenda was pushed out to all attendees
• Observing the live logs, there were frequent questions about wifi, so additional response was added for the conference wifi password
Responses were changed on-the-fly during event, for example:
