There have also been cosmetic enhancements made to the search and home feed.
You won’t believe it, but Yelp has just published a significant upgrade to its app that includes more than twenty new capabilities. Several of these tools are packed with artificial intelligence. Yelp claims that the addition of summaries of businesses that are automatically created by artificial intelligence would assist customers in locating the ideal restaurant or service to fulfill their requirements. This is the most significant piece of news for frequent users.
Other features include updated visuals for the home feed and a redesigned search experience, both of which, according to the firm, will assist users in locating the ideal restaurant for their evening meal. This home feed makes use of artificial intelligence to offer users with content that is more pertinent to their needs. In addition, it will display photographs from nearby eateries that correspond to prior user requests, as well as films that have been posted by local companies.
Users in the corporate world are also affected by the AI larks. When it comes to optimizing advertising spending, the app now provides business owners with “AI-powered smart budgets.” The owners of businesses also have access to fresh data insights that provide them with “valuable market and competitive” information.
An effort is being made by Yelp to stimulate user participation by increasing the Recognitions function. The ability to earn official kudos is now available to individuals who consistently review specific categories of items. Within a single year, you will have the opportunity to acquire one of these highly sought-after digital trophies by providing reviews of three restaurants that serve the same dish. These credentials are located in the Achievements area of the software that you are familiar with.
Up until now, the upgrade is only accessible on iOS devices; but, according to Yelp, an Android version will be made available within the next few months. It is not the first time that the service has ventured into the unfamiliar territory of artificial intelligence (AI). It was revealed by the corporation in April that it would be incorporating artificial intelligence and natural language models in order to enhance search.
