Teams | Collaboration | Customer Service | Project Management

Hey lovely Riot folks, Welcome to the Riot Web 1.6.6 update. This is a relatively incremental release, but we do have a few feature updates alongside all the normal bug and performance fixes.

World Productivity Day is June 20th. Usually, we’d be gearing up to share tips and best practices on how to be your most productive self with Asana. But with the various challenges teams have experienced in 2020, our definition and expectations of productivity have changed. This year, instead of focusing on individual productivity, we want to help you center on connecting and collaborating with your team in order to be at your most effective—together.

Uncomplicating the customer experience can be especially challenging for companies with complex ecosystems: think of buyers and sellers within marketplaces like eBay or Reverb, or the web of interconnected business owners, drivers, and customers on the receiving end of food or furniture deliveries.

The COVID -19 pandemic has overstretched customer support teams across all industries. Many organizations faced a massive influx of customer requests for help, and in most cases, they were not resourced to respond appropriately. Now more than ever businesses need a customer engagement platform that enables their customer support teams to do more with less.

Conversational AI technology is going to be transformational as the possibilities seem to be growing with the spurt in the reach of digital devices, soon augmented with AI-enabled conversational interfaces. From fetching data to answering questions, conversational AI can mimic all that a human agent does but in quicker time, giving users immediate access to information or providing immediate responses.

Previously, on the “Chatbot Best Practices for designing a Conversational Experience with Workativ Assistant” blog, we would’ve delved into the things to do before designing a dialog flow for a chatbot and how to set up the actual dialog using Workativ Assistant’s Dialog Designer and test it. In this blog, we’ll be looking into what all we should do before setting up an automated workflow using Workativ Assistant’s intuitive 3-Step Automation Designer.

Ah yes. Zendesk. The name itself has some “Zen” to it. Zendesk lets a company maintain peaceful business operations — whether it’d be during workplace IT support or during customer service, one has to just create a Zendesk ticket and voila! Their issue would be solved in a jiffy. But what if I told you can make this process even more faster using Workativ Assistant? Yes you can. Want to know how?

If you’re a CIO or an IT Admin, or a help desk agent for the matter, you might know how much of a time-consuming task it is for an employee to report an IT issue like getting locked out of their desktop/laptop, or not being able to apply for leave on your HRM system.

Ah, yes. “I’m working from home today.” Just thinking about saying this (before all the COVID drama started) makes one genuinely happy. While everyone’s at the office, you get to enjoy a day or two taking work-from-home — relaxing a bit, sipping a cup of coffee, as you work at your own pace, without anyone looking over your shoulder, listening to some music on your TV or smart speaker. But now, what you used to enjoy occasionally, has become your daily routine.

Workativ Assistant: Hey ! I’m , a chatbot that not only answers your queries but also takes care of your needs in a jiffy.
