Rockin' GPT 🎸

After closing the Meta chapter, and before diving into the world of WhatsApp HSMs, I was summoned to lead a discovery process on the uses, benefits, and risks of ChatGPT in commercial chatbots.

The first initiative was "First experience with GPT," where, through a research period, we put together a presentation that laid the groundwork for providing hyper-personalized onboarding through automated messages via WhatsApp, aiming for an improvement in the pruchase conversion rate.
The second initiative, "GPT Supervisor Dashboard," was a discovery and delivery process where I delivered the prototype of a new control panel that addressed use cases with ChatGPT and the supervisory user.

Both initiatives were taken and are in the development process.

Q3-23 New Project. Scaling HSM Manager - The NEW STAR

Empathizing and investigating

The last quarter of 2023 came with a new challenge. We had a platform for sending automated notifications and massive marketing campaigns through WhatsApp (HSM - Highly Structured Messages).Customers LOVE this feature, the BEST CONVERTION RATE feature in the market, but the platform had not been developed to be scalable.

Let's get started.

First of all: We immersed in a qualitative-quantitative analysis:

βœ”οΈ Survey of the Current state of the platform
βœ”οΈ Heuristic analysis
βœ”οΈ Identification of Pain points
βœ”οΈ Review of Active clients
βœ”οΈ Patterns and Use cases
βœ”οΈ Deep understanding of the features
βœ”οΈ Competitive analysis
βœ”οΈ Stages of interviews with:
πŸ“ Active clients
πŸ“ Potential clients
πŸ“ Work colleagues from the company in the operations, marketing, product, and development areas.




The first thing we double-clicked on: Two different use cases.





We realized that HSMs assist throughout the customer lifecycle.





We also understood the different conversation flows that this type of messaging allows.




With all this discovery, we prepared a presentation for the team, involved leaders, and directors about the insights and findings + conclusions and next steps. Additionally, we developed a training session for the operations area to provide a deep understanding of the uses, advantages, and benefits of the platform.




Key pain points:
External: Low proactive contactability rate in traditional channels. Need for effective bidirectional communication between the company and the customer.
Internal: Difficulty in setting up campaigns and understanding their performance. We do not guide the customer through the interface, and everything relies on Sales and Support assistance working hours.


3 months of work bearing fruit.
