Continuous improvement of access to Concierge.

LATAM's in-app AI travel assistant lived behind one card on Home — and almost nobody tapped it. This is how a content-and-accessibility pass, shipped without a single new component, multiplied access and first messages.

Concierge — LATAM Airlines' in-app AI travel assistant, shown on the Home tab of the LATAM app
01 — Context

The card was the entire funnel.

The problem2025 · Q1

Concierge — LATAM Airlines' in-app AI travel assistant — lived behind a single card on the Home tab. One button on that card was the whole way in.

Only 0.5% of logged-in users were tapping it. The worst-performing reference banner sitting beside it was still clearing 10%. That gap told us the ceiling wasn't the assistant — it was the invitation.

So the hypothesis stayed deliberately small: improve the card, lift the access rate. The constraint was real — six weeks, no new components, minimal engineering. Whatever shipped had to be words and pixels on a card that already existed.

02 — Intervention №1

Rewrite the message, raise the contrast.

Content · a11y · CTACard & button

Three moves, each picked because it needed no new component. A content pass on every card's title, description and CTA — drafted with an internal content assistant trained on our voice & tone, a golden set of vetted responses, and outside content-design references. A copy change on the Shop > Flights access button. And an accessibility pass on the button itself, whose tri-colour gradient was failing AA contrast for the label sitting on top of it.

Smaller surface. Less risk. More leverage.

The button's label sat on a three-colour gradient that ran from magenta through a light mid-blue. Over those light tones, white text measured 2.8 : 1 — under the WCAG AA minimum. Re-anchoring it to a two-stop gradient — Purple 700 into Teal 500 — kept the brand energy and pushed contrast to 4.9 : 1.

Shop > Flights · the biggest single lift

On the flight-search surface, the access button said only "Discover with AI." We made it say exactly what it does for someone already booking a flight — "Buscar vuelos con LATAM AI." Same button, same place, one honest line of copy.

03 — Intervention №2

Replace the description with quick replies.

Suggestions UIPer user state

Inside the chat, suggested prompts were already driving 40–50% of all interactions. So we asked a sharper question: what if the card showed those quick replies instead of a paragraph of description? Suggestions don't just save typing — they teach people what Concierge can actually do.

We seeded each set from the top user intents in chat — mined in BigQuery — and branched the content by state: no upcoming trip, an upcoming trip, and the 48-hour pre-trip window.

The 48-hour pre-trip window was the one inconclusive cell — it's being re-tested with a suggestions-only variant. Everywhere else, the treatment won and was promoted to default.
