🎙️UX+DEV SUMMIT 2018 - Pedro Marques

linkedin:pedromarks4
slides:none on file

Uses machine learning models to detect patterns like repeated date searches (example: a user searching Seattle for next week then again for another day) and surface a one-click alternate-date prompt that jumps to cheaper options. Implements profiling and A/B tested buckets to avoid annoying mismatches, measures booking conversions and engagement drop‑offs, and iterates on hypotheses rather than blind personalization. Requires large event volumes (Booking.com scale) for stable profiles but the concrete takeaway is find pre-failure patterns and proactively fix them.
