Overview
This apllication will help the front desk user to manage and communicate efficiently with clients.Managing clients appointment & booking
them is challenging for any business / studios ,Messenger can help.
Messenger is an AI-powered receptionist that can help deflect calls to your salon, spa by sending a text directly to your
customer. Its smart technology works with your customers to get them booked into an appointment or solve their queries, even when you
are with another client. And, if the chatbot can't answer the question, it hands the customer over to a queue for your team to pick up for
human-level interaction.We integrated the messenger widgets into the current platform for the ease of use and resolved the relook
of the entire messenger platform.

The Beginning
Kickoff: Kickoff discussion with stakeholders to understand the requirement.
The project initiated after brief discussion with all the stakeholders involved in the project Conversations quickly got deep.
Fundamental Research
I started by understanding the current product, users, and workflows. To get solutions approved and implemented, I collaborated with cross-functional teams, including PM, Dev, and QA.
I started uncovering problem areas through -
User research

Connected with the research team to understand the user needs and problems users were facing.

-
I evaluated the user experiences of the competitors to identify strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats.
UX Audit Insights
-
Visibility of the system
It was hard for user to identify the current status of system
and the status of the ongoing conversation, as it is important
for user to know the system status to take the required action.
-
Aesthetic and Minimalist Design
Design had lot of irrelevant and rarely needed information which was making system more complex.
-
Match between system and real world
The language used was not familiar for the user as a lot of jargons were used which was hard for the user to understand.
-
Self - Explanatory
It was hard for user to to get out of the situation if he/she is stuck anywhere while performing the task.

Consistency Followed
There was lack of consistency in terms of design and content.
