Abstract
With rapid progress in machine learning, language technologies and artificial intelligence, conversational agents (CAs) gain rising attention in research and prac-tice as potential non-human teammates, facilitators or experts in collaborative work. However, designers of CAs in collaboration still struggle with a lack of com-prehensive understanding of the vast variety of design options in the dynamic field. We address this gap with a taxonomy to help researchers and designers understand the design space and the interrelations of different design options and recognize useful design option com-binations for their CAs. We present the iterative deve-lopment of a taxonomy for the design of CAs grounded in state of the art literature and validated with domain experts. We identify recurring design option combina-tions and white spots from the classified objects that will inform further research and development efforts.
