Introduction to Aura use cases

Learn what is a use case in Aura and which are the different types of experiences that can be developed

Introduction

Aura is offered as a platform to the business units to integrate it into their customer relationship channels and with a series of capabilities to create locally relevant experiences for the users. These experiences are called use cases.

A use case is a specific experience triggered by a direct request from the users that provides them with the most appropriate response to their requests due to Aura’s capability of understanding natural language, processing it and building personalized responses in real time.

Types of use cases in Aura

Use cases in Aura are divided into two main groups:

Generic questions use cases

Experiences based on frequently asked questions (FAQs), that is, the most common questions that customers can ask Aura in their interactions and that are most likely to remain constant over time. A great percentage of interactions with Aura is based on these questions.

✅ Examples of generic question use cases:

  • How can I get my IMEI number?

  • Use data abroad

  • Activate O2 wifi

Global use cases

Global use cases are already designed and developed by Aura Platform Team. You cannot modify their logic but use them as they are or get inspired for deploying your own experiences:

Personalized use cases

Custom-made experiences that provide specific answers to each customer based on her data and context.

✅ Examples of personalized use cases:

  • Show me my last bill

  • Check my data consumption

  • Status of my complaint A-330

  • Check my balance

  • Which devices are connected to my wifi?

They are classified into two categories:

Use cases managed by the generic-dialog

The generic-dialog allows the creation of personalized experiences easily, only by means of a simple configuration, with no code development. It is available for use cases in TV channels that imply direct actions (Switch off the TV; rewind the movie 10 seconds; etc.)
