Artificial intelligence helps transform user experiences by powering better customer interactions and enhancing our tools to produce exceptional user experiences.
Session replay is already an impressive tool for tracking customer behavior. Now, AI enhancements have supercharged it for rapid UX insight & data-driven decision-making.
Below, we discuss what session replay does and how AI helps do it even better.
Session replays explained.
A session replay, also called a "session recording," reflects a user's actions while browsing your website or app. Watching a session recording shows every specific action users can take, from mouse movements and scrolling to clicking and typing.
This level of clarity in specific instances of user behavior reveals incredibly accurate insights into your site or app's user experience. Your teams then use these insights to produce engaging marketing campaigns or appealing new features.
In short, session recordings are among the best behavioral analytics tools for producing better user experiences in digital products. While session replays have an immense effect on your site, using them while enhanced with AI in UX design can potentially create even more.
How A.I. enhances session replay analysis and UX.
Creating seamless, optimized user experiences is among the most important ways to ensure success, both in the digital space and for business outcomes. With AI-enhanced session replay, your teams can perform in-depth customer journey analysis faster. They'll also be able to create and implement better features, campaigns, and solutions sooner.
Enhanced session replay is just one example of using AI in UX design and analytics. It has the capacity to enormously impact product development and customer journeys. Here are some ways we see it revolutionizing your UX design:
Quickly identify trends and patterns.
One of the biggest issues with session replays is that they are time-consuming. Gathering all the necessary quantitative and qualitative data from a single session recording can take hours.
Across multiple recordings, this could mean days or even weeks of analyzing user behavior patterns before finding the root cause of a site error or discovering a feature with which particular users interact most.
With AI-enhanced session replays, it's a whole different story. Instead of going through hours of recordings to analyze user behavior, AI can run through session recordings and provide a quick, clear summary of their events.
The result: Your teams will save enormous amounts of time using AI to analyze user interactions across recordings. Through AI-enhanced session replays, they can quickly and accurately identify patterns occurring across different sessions. You can then leverage insights from those patterns to create even more satisfying user experiences.
Align session insights with customer feedback.
Users will provide feedback on their customer interactions with your site or app, especially if they're negative. AI-enhanced session replays help bridge the gap between their understanding of your user experience and your system's components that caused it.
By providing clear and concise session summaries, your teams can easily compare them to various customer feedback forms. From there, you can draw insights into the customer's journey and what aspects of your existing user experience made it better or worse.
The result: Your teams can identify pain points and strengths in your user journey based on customer feedback. Then, with AI-enhanced session replay summaries, they can address the root causes of bugs and errors, quickly improving UX design while showing how responsive your business is to customer concerns.
Respond accurately while providing customer support.
A great part of a solid user experience is providing responsive customer support. 63% of retail companies already do this using AI. But that's often in the form of a chatbot responding to customer queries. AI-enhanced session replays can take things a step further.
Using the session summaries your AI system generates, customer support teams can accurately respond to troubled users. Unlike any other company, your teams will be able to empathize with users while also explaining the issues causing them problems.
The result: AI-based session replays can ensure users feel understood while receiving valuable insights into what is causing issues within your site or app. Furthermore, you can assure them that your teams are on top of addressing the bug or error causing the problem.
Even better, these session replays will allow developers to respond quickly to customer issues, promptly fixing them to reduce friction and ensure optimal user experiences.
Gain deeper insights into user journeys.
Session replays are one of the best behavioral analytics tools for providing the closest representations of user experiences, allowing for near-flawless customer journey mapping. AI further enhances this by giving project managers and developers immediate insights across multiple session recordings, allowing them to paint an even clearer picture of the customer journey.
From there, they can aggregate session replay data from numerous user experiences to create more accurate customer journey maps. With data from other analytics tools, product managers can perform in-depth customer journey analysis to determine which touchpoints are causing churn and which ones can improve your site or app's conversion rate.
The result: Product managers can leverage AI-based session replays and other analytics tools for impeccable customer journey mapping and analysis. They can then determine which touchpoints are problematic and which can be optimized to increase user engagement and conversion rates successfully.
