Chatbots Use ‘I’ – Why This Matters for Kiwi Firms
Chatbots say ‘I’ to feel real. Kiwis can copy this.
The Problem for NZ Firms
Chatbots say ‘I’. Some Kiwi firms do not use this.
Joe’s Cafe chatbot says “We can help.” It feels distant.
What This Means
Chatbots use ‘I’ to sound friendly. People trust this more.
It feels like talking to a real person. Not like a robot.
Why Kiwis Should Care
Kiwi chatbots say ‘we’ too much. This makes people not trust them.
Chatbots need to sound like a person. Not a big company.
The Fix
Train chatbots to say ‘I’. Make them feel like a friend.
This builds trust. People answer more.
What To Do Now
- Train chatbots – Make them say ‘I’ and not ‘we’.
- Test chats – See if people feel more welcome.
- Check responses – Do they feel human or not?
- Update language – Use Kiwi sayings and talk.
