Overview

At Informatica, I managed and optimized the Drift AI Conversation Bot across the website. This chatbot served as the direct bridge between high-intent visitors and our Sales team—meaning its performance directly impacted trials, meetings, and revenue.

My role combined product design, AI conversation strategy, UX research, and growth experimentation to help transform the chatbot from an underutilized tool into a revenue-driving asset for the enterprise.

01The Challenge

The Original Chatbot Wasn't Doing Its Job

The chatbot experience was creating friction where clarity was needed:

Buried in the UI
Using generic, outdated messaging
Confusing for visitors with real intent
Creating friction where clarity was needed
Losing high-value opportunities before they ever reached Sales

Visitors coming to the Pricing page were serious buyers, but the bot wasn't guiding them anywhere useful. That meant the business was missing out on qualified pipeline—right at the moment intent was highest.

02My Responsibility

Managing the Drift AI Chatbot Ecosystem

I led the end-to-end chatbot strategy and execution,
handling all aspects of the experience.

This included:

Designing and rewriting conversation flows
Training the AI on better microcopy and user intent
Analyzing behavior using Drift logs + Adobe Analytics
Creating new high-intent entry points
Optimizing trial → demo funnels
Building experiments to lift conversion rates
Reporting performance directly to leadership

Pricing Bot Example

The redesigned bot offered clear, intent-driven options that helped visitors quickly connect with the right resources—driving higher conversion rates and better qualified leads.

03My Approach

Five-Part Strategy

1

Decode User Intent + Friction Points

I started by auditing transcripts, analytics, and Pricing-page patterns to understand what visitors needed and where they were getting stuck. Real users were asking for demos, pricing help, and product questions the bot wasn't prepared to answer.

2

Rebuild the Conversation Architecture

I redesigned the chatbot into a system that met users where they were. New paths included:

Pricing questions
Quick product demo
Post-trial follow-up
Enterprise evaluations
Direct 'Talk to Sales' escalations

The goal: shorter paths, clearer choices, zero wasted time.

3

Use AI to Strengthen Microcopy

I used AI-assisted language modeling to generate and test microcopy that boosted clarity and reduced cognitive load. Small shifts made big differences:

"Would you like a quick, personalized demo?"

outperformed every variant

4

Constant Experimentation

I treated the chatbot like a living product. A/B tests, copy experiments, fallback logic, timing tests—every improvement was informed by data and real user behavior.

5

Tie Everything to Revenue

My KPIs were direct business drivers:

Qualified pipeline value
Meetings booked
Trial → demo progression
Conversation completion rate

If a change didn't improve a growth outcome, it didn't ship.

04The Impact

Transformational Results

$2.2M → $9.7M

Trial Engagement

Improved clarity increased follow-through and demo requests

Sales Team Efficiency

More qualified conversations, fewer dead-end interactions

Leadership Endorsement

Results were so strong, leadership expanded these optimized flows to additional pages across the site

05Why This Matters

My Approach to Growth-Driven Product Design

This project demonstrates my approach to product design:

Taking full ownership of features and outcomes
Designing for measurable business results, not just aesthetics
Combining AI, UX research, and experimentation with business strategy
Focusing on metrics that drive revenue
Creating intuitive, human-centered experiences that reduce friction
Building scalable systems that improve over time

This project helped redesign a key revenue touchpoint
and contributed to the growth of a global business.

06What I'd Do Next

Future Vision with LLMs

If I were rebuilding this today, I'd layer in:

LLM-powered real-time intent detection
Dynamic, adaptive conversation flows
Auto-generated SDR summaries
Personalized journeys per user segment
Predictive lead qualification

AI opens a new frontier for high-intent UX—and these are the experiences I love creating.

This case study proves something powerful:

AI product design isn't just about the technology—it's about understanding intent, removing friction, and designing for measurable business outcomes.
