What was the company's problem?
With the Covid-19 quarantines and the closure of physical branches, the customer service channels of a large Colombian financial company collapsed.Customers became desperate and began to look for new options, such as online chat, which worked on Facebook and the website.
To address this, in just 20 days the company created a bot that worked on multiple platforms, especially Whatsapp.
What challenge did we receive?
After the first stage, we were tasked with making the bot evolve to reach more users, give it more utility and usability, and allow more interactions. It was not to create a chatbot for Whatsapp from scratch, but to redesign it based on its future growth. In short, we received a strategic design challenge.
