Conversations with Things
UX Design for Chat and Voice
Description
Welcome to the future, where you can talk with the digital things around you: voice assistants, chatbots, and more.
But these interactions can be unhelpful and frustrating--sometimes even offensive or biased. Conversations with Things teaches you how to design conversations that are useful, ethical, and human-centered--because everyone deserves to be understood, especially you.
