ABSTRACT
This research study explores how chatbots can find a place in routine daily lives. Chatbot development has increased while in many cases its purpose still remains loosely defined. Due to its novel and relatively new technology, there is an opportunity to create meaningful experiences with chatbots in a typical person?s life. Qualitative insights were collected from 54 participants in India and the US over the course of two weeks. To identify opportunities for chatbots, we must understand how these programs are perceived and what needs exist for people. The research objectives include understanding the following: 1) anticipations for chatbots 2) preferred input modalities 3) opportunities for chatbots based on user needs.
