Coasties
Coasties are a set of coasters with trigger questions. These questions will help the user to not only initiate a new conversation space, but also reveal one of the many things that make them unique.
Coasties are subtle enough to make the user feel unashamed of using them, while also standing out from the context so as to not be lost and unnoticed. The use of emoji-like characters help sers feel more emphatic towards the coasters, making them fun and approachable.
