Hi everyone! One of the key differentiators we observe with our most successful customers is having a strong communication strategy related to their bot. I sometimes observed customers who had built fully featured bots yet struggled with user change management and buy-in.

Why is that? Often this disconnect is due to users not understanding what the bot is capable of and how it ultimately benefits them to utilize it instead of other support channels.

I’d love to hear how some of you are approaching this topic.

For those of you who have been with us longer, how do you manage to keep your bot top of mind for users over time? And for our more recently launched customers, what did you find worked well during your initial rollout to raise awareness and generate excitement? Were there any particular pain points or resistance you encountered when attempting to gain buy-in?

Yeah, so many people are stuck in the mindset of last generation chat bots, so it’s so important to help bridge the gap with endusers who don’t know the current generation experience we provide.

Using Moveworks’ Employee Comms module can be an incredibly useful tool to help spread the good word of what your bot can really do, especially if you can provide some examples for users to try. I love it when we configure a new form in the bot and combine that with an Employee Comms notification to fill out said form (Return to Office, Device Refresh, etc). This has the combined effect of solving the initial issue (spreading the word about some initiative) while also helping users get comfortable with your bot capabilities!

We did a big campaign around E-Bot and the persona. A bio, the mission, I am facts, and favorite things. We made it fun and colleague like.
Some examples:  
Location: Originally from Redwood City HQ, but now omnipresent and available 24/7
I am….a trend spotter always learning about cutting-edge tech to support our employees. I’m a bit of a know it all; in particular when it comes to IT facts. 
Favorite Emoji: 🤖
Pastime: Reading user manuals
Song: You’ve got a friend in me
Quote: The end of all knowledge should be service to others

Then we have links to FAQ’s about E-Bot, How to talk to E-Bot, How I can help and IT Tips and Tricks. 

This increased engagement by 37%

Wow, that’s an impressive affect on engagement! I love personality building for bots. What a great example of the impact of careful personification.
