Walmart
It all started with the need for a more intuitive AI-powered chat experience for Walmart's internal application, My Assistant, which is designed to assist users in a more efficient and user-friendly way. The previous interface was functional but lacked a seamless and engaging experience for users across different platforms. With the introduction of AI technologies like Gemini, ChatGPT, and Walmart's chat capabilities, we aimed to redesign My Assistant with the goal of enhancing user experience and streamlining workflows.
User Pain Points:
Complexity in interaction: Users found it challenging to use the AI assistant, as the previous interface wasn't intuitive for both mobile and web platforms.
Disconnection between different systems: There was no clear connection between the AI models, limiting the user's ability to seamlessly navigate multiple features.
Lack of personalization: The AI did not offer a personalized experience, leaving users struggling to get the most relevant responses.
Our solution
Unified AI Assistant: We integrated Gemini, ChatGPT, and Walmart’s internal chat system to create a cohesive, robust AI assistant that can handle both personal and professional tasks efficiently.
Cross-Platform Design: Designed with a mobile-first approach while ensuring full functionality on the web platform to give users a seamless experience no matter what device they’re using.
Smart Recommendations: Leveraging AI to offer personalized suggestions based on user behavior, preferences, and role-specific needs.
User-Centric Interface: Simplified and user-friendly design that focuses on minimizing cognitive load, ensuring that all users, regardless of tech-savviness, can easily interact with the assistant.
Results:
Improved Engagement: After the redesign, users were more engaged and found the system easier to navigate.
Reduced Task Completion Time: The redesigned platform allowed users to complete tasks faster due to improved AI response times and a more intuitive interface.
Increased User Satisfaction: Users expressed higher satisfaction levels with the smoother, cross-platform experience and improved personalization.
Positive Feedback: The new My Assistant received positive feedback from both internal users and development teams, with increased usage and fewer support tickets related to usability.
Lessons Learned:
User Testing is Key: We learned the importance of continuous user testing, as real-world feedback helped refine the interface and functionality.
Personalization Matters: Recognizing that each user has unique needs, we prioritized personalization to make the assistant more effective and relevant to the user’s role.
Simplicity Drives Success: A clean, simple design is crucial to improving user interaction and minimizing frustration, especially when dealing with advanced AI features.
