A chat with an AI character for negotiating discounts on the Creative Services collection.

Black Market is a shopping experience for Creative Services. An AI character, Tsuyoi Jukka, holds part of the collection and visitors negotiate with him for a discount.

Users choose a garment and negotiate with the character. After accepting a deal, they receive the coupon by email. The conversation checks store stock to work with available products.

My part

I handled programming, logic design and testing for the experience, working with Franc at Franc Studio between March and May 2024.

I developed the conversation logic and measures to prevent users from manipulating the prompt: the chat needed to maintain the negotiation rules when someone tried to change them through their messages. Testing covered both the user journey and attempts to alter the character’s behaviour.

I integrated Shopify queries so the experience could check actual garment stock, along with the email delivery of the coupon once a deal was agreed. I also handled the Firebase and Firestore infrastructure supporting the experience.
