Ôra: The Beauty Chatbot
Ôra is a personal beauty bot that takes users through our short quiz and provides product recommendations.
Client
The Care Collective by Unilever
The Challenge
Develop a voice and personality for the new beauty chatbot.
The Ask
Create all of the chat content for the bot's variables list. Keep users engaged and interested in what is to come next. Build confidence in the product recommendations.
Background
The Care Collective is a new sub-brand from Unilever. With the creation of the chatbot, the Care Collective can suggest personalized product recommendations from the Unilever family of brands. It also enables them to capture more in-depth data and metrics.
My Role
After creating the voice and tone for Ôra, I worked with the UX Designer to create a friendly user flow. I then wrote all of the content for the website, chatbot and emails.
Ôra Persona
A few things to know about Ôra:
· She identifies as female
· Her name translates to ‘now’ in Italian
· She is a beauty, hair and skin care guru
If Ôra were a person, she would be the perfect mix of Jennifer Lawrence, Emma Stone and Kristen Bell
She is:
· Lighthearted with a good sense of humour
· Down to earth and friendly
· Very supportive and believes in lifting other women up
· Intelligent but doesn’t have to show it off all the time
· Bubbly without being ditzy
When it comes to personal care she:
· Believes that products should enhance our natural beauty, not change it
· Loves a little bit of makeup, but not at a Kardashian level
· Knows that women feel their best when they are happy with their hair and skin
She writes very casually but still uses complete words and sentences. For example, she would say ‘ok’, not ‘k’; ‘before’, not ‘b4’.
She likes to use emojis from time to time, but sparingly and only when they make sense. She sometimes throws in a gif or a meme too.
