Situation
The company took part at the Web Marketing Festival in 2022. Visitors to the company booth received a gift of a sunflower plant, named “Cubo di Sole.” The box featured a QR code that, when scanned, activated the virtual assistant. It provided information about the company and instructions for caring for the plant.
Task
I was responsible for developing a voice-activated application compatible with both Google Home and Alexa devices.
Action
- Research and content creation: in partnership with the internal marketing team, we researched content about sunflowers, how to grow the plants, its significance in diverse cultures, artistic references to it in literature, images, playlists.
- After identifying the principal use cases (information about the plant, information about the company, the reason for this gift), I write some sample dialogs,
- Design the conversational flow: happy path and then secondary paths for error recovery
- Development and NLU: for the Google Action, due to time limits’, I created a static version with intents and customized Json responses, contexts, training phrases. For the Alexa skill, I used Voiceflow.
