Perplexity Mobile — design system & UI screens
AI-powered search and recommendation engine for finding hotels based on natural language queries, specifically for travel planning and accommodation research. The screen displays search results for "best hotels in Tokyo for a family" with a carousel of curated hotel options (showing images, ratings, and names), filtering/source options at the top (Perplexity, Hotels, Sources), followed by contextual guide content with categorized hotel recommendations and detailed descriptions of individual properties.
This is a static, crawlable rendering for search & AI engines. The interactive version — filters, live decode console, copy & export — is at https://mozaika.design/website/perplexity-mobile.
