ANECDOTE

Chatbot UI Experiment Failed

Igor observed Headway tested a chatbot UI variant briefly and then dropped it, implying it didn't work.
This shows they iterate UI experiments but revert when conversion falls.

INSIGHT

Ask About Users, Not The Product

Most questions target the user's mindset and problems, not product specs.
This builds rapport and makes users feel understood before any features are shown.

ADVICE

Make Loaders Useful

Use informative loaders (progress screens) to reduce drop-off by showing reviews or sneak peeks.
Add mini-questions on loaders to keep users engaged and feeling personalized.
