Conversational UX

Tailored conversational AI design from research to working demonstrators

Using AI in applications and websites requires conversational UX that is tailored to specific user needs. Akendi conducts the research and conversational design, delivering working demonstrators that can be tested before developing into full production. We excel in testing and fine-tuning models, as well as designing the interaction techniques users need to set the right contexts. This includes designing AI agents that fit seamlessly with your processes and workflows.

Experiences Designed
  • Working demonstrators you can test before committing to full production.
  • AI agents tailored to fit your specific processes and workflows.
  • Fine-tuned models and interaction techniques for optimal user contexts.

What is conversational UX and why is it important?

Conversational UX is the design of how users interact with AI through natural conversation. It's crucial because AI in applications requires carefully designed interactions tailored to specific user needs—generic chatbots won't cut it. Good conversational UX ensures users can effectively communicate their intent and get meaningful responses.

How do you tailor conversational UX to our specific needs?

We start with user research to understand your specific use cases, user goals, and conversation patterns. Then we design conversational flows and interaction techniques that fit your users' needs and mental models, rather than forcing them to adapt to generic AI interactions.

What is a working demonstrator?

A working demonstrator is a functional prototype of your conversational AI that you can test with real users before committing to full production. It allows you to validate the conversational design, interaction patterns, and AI behavior in a realistic setting—ensuring everything works before significant development investment.

How do you test and fine-tune AI models?

We excel in testing conversational AI with real users, identifying where the model succeeds or fails, and systematically fine-tuning it. This includes prompt engineering, model selection, context window optimization, and iterative refinement based on actual user interactions and feedback.

How do you design AI agents that fit our workflows?

We analyze your existing processes and workflows to understand where AI can add value. Then we design AI agents that integrate seamlessly with how your team actually works—not generic assistants that require you to change your processes. The AI becomes a natural part of your workflow.

What are interaction techniques for setting context?

These are the UX patterns and interface elements that help users give AI the right context for effective responses. This might include structured inputs, conversation starters, context selectors, or progressive disclosure techniques—all designed to help users communicate their needs clearly to the AI.

What's your process from research to production?

We start with user research to understand conversational needs, design tailored conversational UX, build a working demonstrator, test it with real users, fine-tune based on feedback, and then support you through to full production. You can validate everything before major development investment.

What types of applications benefit from conversational UX?

Any application or website using AI—from customer service chatbots and internal tools to specialized industry applications. If your users interact with AI, they need well-designed conversational UX tailored to their specific needs and contexts.
