By utilizing a mix of machine learning, computerized sorting and consumer-created curation, the new service hopes to better recommend restaurants, hotels and other services to users of Yelp. Those hoping to use the Collections AI feature will have a Collection automatically generated for them through Yelp's AI-generated option. The initial Collection will be fairly sparse, but as users continue to utilize Yelp, the AI will then introduce [more recommendations based on activity](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/amazon-interests). The Collection AI feature is currently broken down into three categories: weekly user recommendations, suggestions published by Yelp and personal lists created by users. The feature will be available on Yelp mobile apps and its website. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.4/10 - Popularity: 31% | Activity: 64% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Mobile](https://www.trendhunter.com/mobile) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Machine Learning:** Utilizing machine learning, Yelp's Collections AI feature aims to provide personalized recommendations and streamline user experiences. - **Consumer-created Curation:** Through consumer-created curation, Yelp's Collections AI feature allows users to generate and share personalized lists of recommendations. - **Artificial Intelligence in Recommendations:** Yelp's AI-generated option utilizes artificial intelligence to automatically generate collections and introduce relevant recommendations based on user activity. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Hospitality:** Yelp's Collections AI feature can be a disruptive innovation opportunity for the hospitality industry by providing personalized recommendations for hotels and improving user experiences. - **Food Service:** In the food service industry, Yelp's Collections AI feature can help restaurants gain visibility and attract customers by recommending their establishments to users based on their preferences. - **Travel and Tourism:** Yelp's Collections AI feature can revolutionize the travel and tourism industry by offering tailored recommendations for attractions and services, enhancing the overall travel experience for users. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI-Driven Discovery Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yelp-guaranteed.md) - [AI-Assisted Job Hunting Features](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/linkedin-job-collections.md) - [AI-Powered Business Discoveries](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yelp-2.md) - [AI-Powered Restaurant Recommendations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/google-maps-3.md) - [AI-Powered Menu Recommendations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ai-powered-menu-recommendation.md) - [AI-Powered App Assistants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/yelp-assistant.md) - [GenAI Restaurant Concierges](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/opentable-ai-concierge.md) - [AI-Powered Local Recommendations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/epic-fusion.md) - [AI Book Suggestions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/book-recommendations-tool.md)
