Chatbots are software applications that use natural language processing (NLP) and artificial intelligence (AI) to simulate human conversations. Chatbots can interact with users via text or voice, through various platforms such as websites, mobile apps, social media, or messaging apps.

Full and correct response ? Documentation and classification of information ? Analysis and improvement of data and instructions ? Monitoring and level evaluation. ? Understanding project stakeholders ? ? ? and many more is the best option. ? Just before launching it, we should clarify the cultural and user issues for all users and put regular and continuous training in the program so that we can.

O chatbots quando bem utilizados, se tornam excelentes ferramentas para simplifica??o de processos repetitivos e de alta demanda. Na minha experiência, antes de implementar um chatbot, é necessário identificar quais s?o essas demandas e os seus respectivos processos a elas atreladas. Da mesma forma que o chatbot automatiza o atendimento, a automatiza??o do restante do processo também é interessante, isso aumentará a velocidade de execu??o das solicita??es, além de reduzir o risco de erros causados pela interferências das pessoas dentro de cada processo.

2 Why use chatbots for stakeholder communication?

Chatbots can offer several advantages for project coordinators who want to improve their stakeholder communication, such as saving time and resources, enhancing accessibility and availability, and improving personalization and engagement. By automating repetitive tasks like sending updates, reminders, confirmations, or feedback requests, chatbots can free up time and resources for project coordinators to focus on more complex and strategic aspects of the project. Additionally, chatbots can be available 24/7, across different time zones and languages, to provide instant and consistent responses to stakeholder inquiries or requests. This can improve stakeholder satisfaction and trust, as well as reduce communication gaps and delays. Furthermore, chatbots can use data and analytics to tailor their messages and interactions to each stakeholder's preferences, needs, and behavior. This can create a more personalized and engaging communication experience, as well as increase stakeholder loyalty and retention.

Chatbots are useful if they can have access to a layer that quickly sorts and organizes information so that stakeholder questions can be accurately answered. The real need for stakeholders is viewing the existing information about projects from their own lens and that is only possible if chatbots are allowed access to the entire projects document set and allowed to use LLMs to provide smart answers. Only using them for reminders relegates their role to being something that could be ignored or - even worse - be considered annoying.

3 How to design chatbots for stakeholder communication?

Designing chatbots for stakeholder communication requires careful planning, testing, and evaluation to ensure the chatbots meet the project objectives and stakeholder expectations. To begin, define the chatbot's purpose and scope: What is the main goal? Who are the target stakeholders? What are their pain points and needs? What are the key features and functions of the chatbot? How will it fit into the overall communication strategy and channel mix? Next, choose the platform and interface: What is the most suitable platform and interface for the chatbot? How will it integrate with existing systems and tools? What are the technical and security requirements and limitations? How will it handle text or voice input and output? Following this, develop content and logic: What is the tone and style of content? How will it greet, introduce, and guide users? How will it handle different types of questions, requests, or scenarios? How will it provide feedback and confirmation? How will it handle errors and exceptions? Finally, test and optimize performance: How will it be tested and validated? How will it learn from user feedback and data? How will its performance be measured and evaluated? How will it be updated or maintained?
