01

Make the first step obvious

Guests should recognise the property and immediately know where to type. A logo, colours and a short welcome connect the chat to their stay. Suggest useful questions while always allowing guests to ask their own.

02

Design for a phone

Check the chat with the keyboard open: the input and controls must remain reachable. For voice messages, guests should be able to record, listen back, delete and deliberately send. The concierge replies in text; do not present voice messages as a phone call.

03

Be concrete without interrupting the conversation

When information is available, offer relevant options with useful details immediately. Ask about a preference only when it improves the choice. If staff are needed, explain that the request is pending and let the guest continue chatting.

Before you activate

  • Readable branding on mobile
  • Distinct text-send and record controls
