What you will learn
Understanding the field
You will get a grip on this emerging field and learn how organizations can benefit from chatbots and voice assistants. You will understand the psychology behind conversations, and more importantly, how technology, psychology, and language work together in conversation design.
Perform the Conversation Design Process
Good conversation design starts with an extreme human-centric process. With respect for the technology and business operation, you’ll learn how to craft a bot persona that delivers value to both the user and the organization. You’ll learn how to create sample dialogues that resonate with users and give them a good experience. You’ll learn to systematically make your dialogues better using expert rewrite sessions and Wizard-of-Oz testing. And finally, you’ll learn to create a deliverable with copy for intent recognition, edge cases and repair flows.
Apply conversational copywriting techniques
Learn the copywriting techniques that are essential to create dialogue that sounds human instead of robotic. Learn how to write prompts and use discourse markers to minimize the cognitive load of your user. Understand when to use explicit and implicit confirmations and write repair prompts for situations in which the bot can’t make sense of the user’s input. Make your conversations humanlike by applying tapering, variety, and other techniques that we as humans use all the time.
Voice and chat
In this course you’ll learn how to work voice first. This is similar to how visual designers work mobile first to make sure their designs work across all devices. Working voice first ensures that your conversations work across all platforms, for both chatbots and voice assistants.

After this course, you’ll know how to navigate their respective requirements and limitations, both current and potential.
