WHY CHAT BOT
Using our knowledge of the competition, we felt it was best to leverage the systems our users already knew and take advantage of promoting their existing networks within these products. (Such as Geotags, Facebook Network, and Local Business pages.)
User Flows
Onboarding Chat Bot
Finding Space Mobile
Primary Features
Staying lean, we wanted to avoid designing an additional application with unnecessary features/ repetitive API creeps. We decided to create a chat-bot centered around three core features FIND MY SPACE, SAVE MY SPACE, and SHARE Location.
Recieving Space
Additionally, we wanted a mobile to serve as an additional touchpoint to our ecosystem’s product roadmap.  The primary interactions intended here was to facilitate our users need to receive and share spaces within their network.
Shared Perspective
Sharing A Location
Leaving A Space
As our users leave the space? We want to utilize CUI to establish the businesses’ actual S.A.S.S.Y framework better. Are they hip, or are a little relaxed?  Why do you think so? Keep these short and less severe using Facebook, we hope people are more comfortable providing feedback.
Rating A Space
Why Was this Needed
However, with the high emphasis, we needed to keep the idea constant adaptable spaces through live feedback. Keeping our areas relevant and update with what we could consider Ample’s SASS.
Applying these Core Values
We found many that many of our user’s preferences could be summarized into a framework called S.A.S.S.Y. The acronymous are defined as such: Speciality what is the space most famous for, who might be the Audience they are catering towards? What is the live/Special mood of the occasion? Are there any Special groups that might flock here? Why might the? What makes these locations so special and unique?

The Plugin
Staying true to our co-working space user, we incorporated the minimum viable product as a desktop/browser plugin for users to download and incorporate into their nomadic tendencies.
Users within Ample Communities can one tap connect to wifi, save Spaces, receive notifications on active specials, show their location and have immediate access to a map of potential spaces in the area.

Web FLOW
Web FLOW
Quickly, in the synthesis of our research, we found that we need our product to focus on the discovery and culture thirds spaces might provide. So we wanted to achieve the ability to facilitate such discovery through promoting a variety of business fitting the user needs.
A place where you could immediately discover or connect to her space of preference; as-well-as invite your network to join you in the area. Ample as a web widget could grow alongside the efforts of our supported business.
Discover and Search
Provided our user's desires are centered around the possibility of spontaneity or variety, we sought to reinvent the way our users discovered our spaces utilizing our application’s browse.
Avaliable Spaces and map
Instead of focusing on building a comprehensive interactive map. We believed that we should focus on how close these spaces are to these users and how these spaces previewed for a user of potential interest.
