How to Personalize?

In a chatbot conversation, you can make your user feel more valued and understood.

You have to consider people’s desire to feel understood which is a strong desire that people have.

ASK QUESTIONS ❓❓❓

Without asking questions and taking time to get to know a person, it’s impossible to understand them.

You have to consider what will be the inner dialogue taking place when someone uses your chatbot (“what are they trying to sell me, I am not the only person they’re sending this message to”).

Good News

You can improve the chatbot experience by personalizing it in a way that makes the user feel more understood or makes their life easier.
