When building a Messenger ChatBot, one of the most important things to consider is the design. I have personally used several chatbots that were designed in a way that made it harder for users to understand what was going on. The design of a chatbot can also affect the speed of your bot, which will affect both efficiency and profitability.
In this article, I will discuss the design of a Messenger Bot, how to speed up a bit, and what you should avoid. These are the things I recommend you avoid when building a chatbot, because the results of using them may not be what you expect.
First, you need to make sure you have the proper layout for your chatbot. This means you should use a grid layout. A grid layout allows your chatbot to stay on the screen so that it's easy to read. Since your chatbot should only be used once per day, having your chatbot on the screen for the entire day causes it to become unresponsive.
Next, use an additional design element to keep your bot on the screen for longer periods of time. This is known as the scrolling bar. Most common scrolling bars have a gray bar at the bottom which indicates that it is inactive. Your chatbot needs to constantly be on the screen so that it can respond to commands.
It's very possible that the animations you use can have a negative impact on how fast your bot responds. Not all animations are optimized for all platforms that can change over time. Some animations cause a freeze-up and it can take several seconds for your bot to respond.
You should avoid making your bot respond to commands which send it to the wrong message. For example, if you're building a chatbot to give out grocery coupons, try to avoid the practice of sending your bot to all the different newsletters which are sent out by your grocery store. One newsletter may have a lot of email addresses so that your bot can send a coupon for free groceries to all those people. However, this will slow down your bot as it has to go through all the emails to determine which newsletter is referring to.
A chatbot will also be affected by the amount of time it takes your bot to respond to the user's input. If your bot is running slow, the reason will often be because the user doesn't understand what you're trying to say. Therefore, make sure you send the appropriate commands to help your bot understand what it is being asked to do.
Use a small rate of learning when setting up the interface for your bot. The more you learn about your customers, the better you can customize your UI. The more you understand the users, the better you can allow them to interact with your bot.
Use a parameter in your bots' request for information. The simplest form of a parameter is simply a dummy value. After all, even if the user inputs a value that will be used as their opinion, you should still read it carefully before sending it back to your bot.
You should use the URL encoding for your chatbots, especially for URL shortening. This method will allow you to send your clients a shortened URL, which will help them remember it more easily.
You should also be careful not to send your users to input specific input fields that they don't need. Not only will this make your bot slower, but you could end up losing sales.
In conclusion, I strongly recommend you take a look at these tips to make your Messenger ChatBots faster. You can speed up your bots using these methods!
