Customer Experience is key.
Consumers’ expectations in terms of customer service are changing. They expect 24/7/365 service availability, and an effortless experience. Most consumers approach Sam with a negative request. They are unhappy about a Samsung product or service not working properly. They ask Sam to fix it quickly for them.
Turning disappointment into contentment.
Through Sam’s attentive tone of voice and new appearance, the chatbot will literally improve the relation with the unhappy customer – and by coming up with solutions - turn disappointment into contentment.
Appearance.
To do so, Sam needs to have an appearance that inspires, is trustworthy, professional, committed and friendly. By being innovative and an expert, contemporary, and young, Sam also answers to the Samsung Service values.
Is SAM a he, or a she?
SAM is not a he or a she. Sam can be what the customer wants it to be. This way SAM’s unique personality and gender adapts to the customer’s interpretation.
Graphic process
The shape of Sam is developed from the shape of the S of Samsung. Sam really comes from the core of the Samsung guidelines.
We created a little smart communication device with the shape of a face to give it a friendly look, but also a clean and minimalistic one, according to Samsung ‘s sophisticated look & feel. Mainly the eyes are used to express emotions in several animations.
Sam’s face serves as a screen to show content, like products texts or eye expressions so it becomes a real communication channel by itself. This way we create a techy and happy feeling towards Sam.
