Yelp Launches AI Feature That Calls Restaurants for Wait Times
Yelp has introduced a new feature called 'Check for Me' as part of its fall product release, which is now rolling out on iOS. This feature allows Yelp's AI to call restaurants and text users the current wait times without requiring user intervention. The update also includes enhancements to Yelp AI’s assistant capabilities, such as more personalized recommendations and the ability to book reservations through OpenTable. The new features aim to improve user convenience by automating tasks like checking availability at dining establishments. This development reflects a broader trend of integrating artificial intelligence into consumer services for greater efficiency and personalization.
