We set out to address the question, How can we create an engaging experience that allows people to interact with the Field Museum’s newest—and biggest—dinosaur? The result is Message Máximo (fieldmuseum.org/maximo), a chat experience that lets users text or online message Máximo the Titanosaur. Seeking to develop an easy-to-use, friendly, and welcoming interface that creates opportunities for personalized interactions, we placed a particular focus on persona definition, content strategy, and conversational logic.
In a discussion of our process, challenges, and learnings as we developed Message Máximo, this session will cover topics that may be relevant to a wide variety of content-heavy projects: identifying content scope, creating interactions that are both engaging and also integrate learning opportunities, and anticipating users’ needs and expectations.

Key Outcomes
As a result of this session, participants will have a better understanding of the functionalities of Dialogflow, a free AI chat platform, and its capabilities in creating educational and conversational chatbot experiences. Session attendees will understand one approach to navigating a large-scale, ever-growing content project with time and resource considerations and be able to apply these learnings to their own digital engagement projects, whether a chatbot or other content-driven project.
