Unit 07

AI agents, chatbots, and interactive services

When AI becomes a service entry point rather than a one-off response tool, design expands from content to experience and responsibility.

Learning goals

  • Understand the differences among chatbots, AI agents, and general-purpose assistants.
  • Identify service boundaries, memory, data sources, and fallback paths.
  • Propose an interactive service prototype.

Key ideas

Agent-like systems matter because they coordinate tasks, not just answers. That makes service scope, permissions, and exception handling essential design concerns.

Without those boundaries, AI services easily break down in real teaching, support, or administrative settings.

Visual cases

LINE AI partner cover

This cover helps explain that an AI service can start from a familiar conversational entry point rather than a standalone system.

LINE Bot and Gemini service architecture

This architecture visual makes it easier to explain interface, model, memory, and automation as parts of one agent service.

Activities

Activity 1: Service scenario design

Choose a school or workplace setting and define users, needs, and service flow.

Activity 2: Exception handling

Plan what happens when AI answers incorrectly, cannot retrieve needed information, or encounters sensitive requests.

Task

Create a service concept describing user needs, data sources, interaction logic, and human support nodes.

Further viewing

This unit works well with channel content on chatbots, LINE Bot design, interactive service logic, and agent-style workflows, helping learners place service entry points, data sources, and responsibility boundaries in one design frame.
