Salute Bot

Animated 2d explainer
The video was created to showcase the capabilities of SaluteBot, a product by Sber that provides convenient tools for creating and managing chatbots.

The main goal of the project was to deliver a clear and engaging explanation of the platform's advantages for both developers and end users.
Sber approached us with a request to create a bright and informative video that would showcase the functionality and key features of SaluteBot.
The main challenge was to effectively communicate the product’s advantages while maintaining a balance between technical complexity and ease of understanding. Additionally, it was essential to differentiate SaluteBot from other similar platforms, highlighting its unique features, such as integration with the Sber ecosystem and multi-platform support.

Problem

Goals

Our team was tasked with achieving the following objectives:
  • Showcase the key features of SaluteBot.
  • Highlight its benefits for developers, including ease of chatbot creation and testing.
  • Emphasize the platform’s adaptability and integration capabilities.
  • Create a video that is equally accessible and engaging for both beginners and professionals.
The client initially approached us with a 2D concept of the SaluteBot robot, which required transformation into a detailed 3D model. We meticulously crafted the 3D version, ensuring accurate proportions while preserving the bot’s unique and recognizable appearance. The illustrations were designed in a minimalist and tech-inspired style, emphasizing the innovative nature of the product.
The central character of the video is the friendly flying robot Salute, designed to capture attention with its welcoming and modern look. Its face functions as a screen, capable of displaying human-like emotions and presenting various types of content. The entire animation is built around SaluteBot moving through different platform features, visually showcasing its wide range of capabilities.
We maintained the signature branding elements of Sber, incorporating distinctive colors and typography, which reinforced brand recognition. The animated video follows a clean and futuristic design, where every detail enhances the perception of technology and innovation. This approach not only made the video visually appealing but also ensured a clear and effective demonstration of SaluteBot's key benefits.
