During the Pearson/IBM Watson co-venture I became fascinated with the potential for using dialog-driven UI to help our users. My thesis was (and remains) that you don't always need high-powered AI to make a meaningful educational experience.
Below is an animated version of an interactive mobile prototype that demonstrates the potential for a "writing assistant" chat bot, complete with interruptions from mom :)
Later, inspired by this study, I designed a proof-of-concept chatbot in Facebook Messenger to demonstrate the potential of voice/dialog UIs for test preparation.
Research & discovery methods:
- Interactive mobile prototype for focus group
- Interactive mobile prototype for unmoderated study
- Static screens for survey study
- Interactive bot for user testing and focus group
