They want us to all to have user accounts and login like well behaved workers. So cute. Little Donald can login for hisself, and doesn’t need mommy to do it for him.
How are they measuring the success rate? It seems like a project like this is a great time to dive into the problem and define the parameters of success. If only to inform how you design the ai’s presentation of the shop. Ie. how quickly does it get customer’s profile and discover their issue.
Thinking about my experiences with mechanics shops—with the exception of dealerships and larger operations—if you’re talking to a principal, the conversation is brief. It’s possible customers will respond positively if the bot is effective for scheduling and if the price communicated by phone, and the final price are somehow aligned to expectations.
At my work we use quickbooks enterprise (which is a desktop app) for some clients and another (not Intuit) online/cloud app for other clients. I have extensive experience using both. The cloud apps are slow, buggy, lacking features, immature UI/UX, and not as open.
The principal limitation of qbe is lack of multi-location support. The main advantage of cloud is the ability to provide direct access (though the role/permission models I’ve experienced have other downsides).
It’s a mixed bag, but the advantages of qbe outweigh the aggravations of windows—for now.
Once you force OS to communicate data about the user, here we’re talking age, is it a slippery slope? Once the architecture is created, why not put other things about you in there?
My IG feed is largely taken over by congressional members videos, crazy $#!t the president (and his crew) says, and the keystone cops. And boy howdy is there a lot of rage inducing behavior going on.
I feel more informed than if I was only listening to NPR.
That said, I stay away from anything that’s produced—sound track, too many cuts/edits, talking head commentary. I guess in this context, if I’m going to be driven to emotional anxiety, it’s going to be from something that happened or something someone said, and not the internet’s interpretation.
You can’t “produce content” that I will watch _as news_. It has to be in some real way happening (with some deference to Rashomon).
Anyone recommend browser-base instant preview site for web ui design with more artistic/experimental preference?
