Challenge: Simplified Access to Volunteering Services

The collaboration with ONCE had a clear goal: to give its users an accessible, efficient and reliable tool for managing volunteering requests. The project had to suit users with visual disabilities, optimizing the interaction experience through voice technology.

The specific challenges included:

  • Creating intuitive conversation flows, even for users with no previous experience with voice assistants.
  • Designing a system that allows quick queries and confirms requests in real time.
  • Ensuring the skill met high accessibility standards, covering a wide variety of usage scenarios.

Solution Implemented: The Voluntarios ONCE Skill

Mindgeist tackled these challenges by designing, developing and deploying the Voluntarios ONCE skill. This interactive system lets users make requests and queries related to volunteering through simple, effective voice commands.

Technical and Functional Features:

  1. Optimized Conversational Flows:
    • Creation of a modular structure based on iterative “paths”.
    • Prioritization of simple commands with clear, progressive steps.
  2. Dynamic Request Handling:
    • Generation of personalized requests based on criteria such as dates, schedules and type of assistance required.
    • Implementation of real-time updates that notify users about the status of their requests.
  3. Accessibility and Inclusive Design:
    • Guaranteed compatibility with standards such as WCAG (Web Content Accessibility Guidelines).
    • Clear audio and visual responses for every interaction.

Technical Integration:

  • Adaptability:
    • The architecture allows voice flows to be adjusted to the user’s preferences and needs.
  • Security:
    • Secure handling of personal data and authentication through integration with the Club ONCE system.
  • Scalability:
    • Design ready to incorporate future improvements or an expansion of features.

Impact and Results

The Voluntarios ONCE skill has transformed the way users access volunteering services. Thanks to the solution implemented by Mindgeist, processes are now more accessible, faster and centered on users’ specific needs.

Highlights:

  • Reduced Response Time:
    • The automated system significantly reduces the time needed to manage requests.
  • Greater Inclusion:
    • The skill has allowed more users to take part in volunteering activities with greater autonomy.
  • Standardized Experience:
    • Standardized conversational flows offer a consistent, predictable experience, eliminating common frustrations in interactive systems.
