Concept 06

Persistent AI input bar stays open after apply

The AI text input stays visible and editable after applying. Mapped chips render below and update as the user refines the sentence.

Why useful

Conversational and iterative — feels like guided AI search.

Key risk

Uses more vertical space than a standard filter bar.

Example query

"Hotel with restaurant, breakfast, and pool"

Section C — Notes & tradeoffs

What changes in the bar: Native bar stays the same; an editable AI input region persists below it.
Existing pills: Untouched.
AI representation: Sentence + dashed chips that recompute on every refinement.
Edit / remove: Edit the sentence directly, remove individual chips, or close the input region.
Cross-LOB scaling: Best for complex multi-criteria queries (e.g., flights with many constraints).
Unsupported terms: Subtle inline hint under the chip row.
