Many companies are working to leverage the technology of AI to enhance consumer experience including Yelp with the new Yelp Assistant. The company explains that it can assist users in finding the right contractors or other service providers to meet their specific needs.
The concept is to point them in the right direction without having to do it individually. Yelp states that it "alleviates the guesswork on the type of specialists you may need." Users are to let the Assistant know what the project is then type in their own replies and select from the one-click responses. In addition to this, Yelp has also released the Yelp Fusion AI API which enables third-party partners to create a more conversational experience for their services.
