01 / PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Answer the right questions
A business chatbot should have a defined audience and a limited purpose. It may help visitors find a service, help staff locate guidance or collect the context for an enquiry. We identify the questions it should handle and the topics it should hand to a person before designing the conversation.
02 / PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Keep the knowledge maintained
Approved documents, service details and frequently changing policies need an owner. A retrieval-based assistant can be scoped to find relevant material rather than improvise an answer from general model knowledge. The interface should make sources and uncertainty understandable when the use case calls for them.
03 / PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Make handover part of the experience
A useful conversation has a next step when it cannot resolve the request. We define what information can be captured, who receives it and whether the receiving system has accepted it. CRM, ticketing or messaging integrations depend on the chosen channel and available APIs; multi-channel support is not assumed.
04 / PROJECT CONSIDERATIONS
Test conversations, not just greetings
The prototype should be tested against ambiguous questions, outdated knowledge, unsupported requests and attempts to override its instructions. We also review response speed, usage costs and accessibility. SheraBot provides implemented conversational engineering; SheraAssist is a separate support product direction still in development.
