People-Powered Activity Bots

The Wilson Weekend Planner Suggests Awesome Events Via SMS

In today's automated and algorithm-powered age, the Wilson weekend planner is unique. The service, currently available in New York and San Francisco, finds awesome activities or people to do, oftentimes at cheap prices. Wilson is not a deal-finding website and doesn't sell its services. Instead, it uses people power to find the best things to do during the weekend.

The Wilson weekend planner functions as if it was a chat bot, but the fact that there is a person behind each message should prove comforting for those seeking an authentic review or recommendation. Currently Wilson is only available as an SMS-based service but an expansion into iOS and Android apps seems likely, as does a wider roll out of cities served.
