Personality of a virtual assistant Where to start?
That's why it's important to start with this:
- Review the brand's digital ecosystem. This will help you determine what and how the brand interacts with its users/customers.
- Know the values that identify the brand and how a virtual assistant can express them. Some will apply, others will not.
- Find out who will be the target audience of this chatbot and what is its main objective.
- A virtual agent exclusively for sales is not the same as one designed to assist patients with depression.
Where a virtual assistant's personality is reflectedPersonality is reflected throughout the conversation, but there are scenarios in which it stands out more strongly.
Here are a few:
Say hello: This may be the first moment of interaction with a user/customer. Therefore, a greeting should be carefully designed and show the values mentioned above.- Hello, leave your comment here and I will contact you soon.
- Hi, I'm Luca, the virtual assistant from San Sebastian, how can I help you?
- Great! Your purchase will be billed to your next account.
- To report a theft, I will put you in touch with an advisor immediately.
Here are a few:
The message is not understood: This message should not add to the user/customer's frustration. It should be frank, but also with alternatives so that their query is resolved.- Sorry, I don't have an answer for what you write. These options might help you
- I think I misunderstood you. Let's try again. Write me some keywords about what you are looking for.
How to define the personality of a virtual agent?
To define these characteristics, workshops and meetings are held with stakeholders, the communication team and project managers, always linked to the objective sought with the bot.- Transform the chatbot into a character (real, male, female, genderless, animal, thing, imaginary).
- Give it a name
- Have a graphic image...: what it will look like, what colors it will use, what face it will have.
- Imagine what your texts will look like and write examples.
- Problem mapping (objectives)
- Analogues and analogues
- Empathy map
- Conversational journey
- Personality spectrum
