Their current expectation: AI → help, cannot get things done.
Customers are smart, we should come up with a smart way to show them how to use Mindy + correct format of the prompts. The correct guidance to the customers will be of importance.
Welcome Emails
Predict the next step [shortcut keys like Gmail]
Give the users some instructions on how Mindy will interpret their prompt and process them.
Set right Expectations:
Be clear about what Mindy could help them finish, and what Mindy could only be of some help.
Ambiguity Metrics:
For the prompt that we have given to the AI model, we could define the parts that seem ambiguous and then present to the users.
Prompt feedback:
It could be combined with a prompt reply given by Mindy to let the users know the waiting time of the result if it’s going to be over 5 mins.
2. Feedback > Data/ Model
Do interviews to get the feedback from the current users. [every week]
Direct Reach-out
User Activities
If all the interviewees have DS background, it’s not ideal.
They will have different perspectives from the real users without DS background.
Values → Features
Prototype → Iterate Fast
3. Customers tired of trying different tools.
Easy-to-use [click < 2 times] + Ecosystem are important.
Features like shortcut keys could be useful.
Follow-up questions asked by Mindy should give clear instructions to the user for the next email.
[Right now, sometimes it needs 8 emails to organize a meeting!]
There could be a metric to measure the performance with the prompts sent by a user related to 1 question.
Ecosystem: Are we collaborating with Google Calendar?
Questions that have been asked:
1. Microsoft had a team working on a project similar to Mindy before, but they ultimately failed. Why didn't Gmail develop a similar feature?
Collaboration with Google, especially Gmail
