The Conversational Brand—Chatbots and Voice Assistants for Brands
Full-Day Seminar with Marco Spies
Chatbots and voice assistants continue to grow in importance for brands. In order to be distinctive, they need a personality that is both their own and in line with the brand.
In this workshop, you will learn how to develop a bot personality that fits your brand, how to convert business requirements and use cases into intents, and how to write your first chatbot dialogs.
COVID-19 Safety Measures: We have limited the number of participants in order to comply with spacing and hygiene rules on site. We also ask all participants to bring a mask for the workshop parts of the seminar.
