Conversation DesignThis conversation design shows how the conversation flows depending on what configuration is available to the Skill.
After reaching the dialogue “So what would you like to know about us?” the Greeter Base Skill assumes that another open ended skill like the Knowledge Base Skill will be present to continue the conversation. The Greeter Base Skill will only be triggered again if the User says “Goodbye” or no Fallback Skill is set.
Configurations
All configuration options in this Skill are optional. It will provide a coherent introduction even using as much or as little information as possible.Configurations
All configuration options in this Skill are optional. By leaving a configuration option blank you can skip that content, allowing you to (for example) skip straight to rapport building, or to leave rapport building without an explicit call to action.
Note that to create variation in what the Digital Person says you can use Elegant Variation in these configuration fields. Best practice is to use variation sparingly and only add it to high traffic sections of conversation, so the Greeting and First Question are perfect places for it.
Provide the following information in the Greeter Skill configuration screen in Digital DNA Studio. See Adding Skills to your Digital Person for detailed instructions.
