As machines grow smarter, we strive to make interactions more human-like & easier to use. Conversational design ismore than writing a script. Itinvolves critical thinking & combines various fields of UX including interaction design, voice UX, copywriting, user interface design, visual design, & system architecture.

The term "conversational interfaces" is thrown around a lot these days, but what does it actually mean? Will we soon be having conversations with everything around us, like our toothbrushes & trash cans? What's the difference between a chatbot & a VUI? How do we build these highly interactive systems in the right way?
This talk will tell you what Conversation Design is & some of the best practices to make sure we get it right.
