Google Maps will use AI to answer questions about the new restaurant you want to try


Google Maps will use AI to help you find new places to eat.

Starting this week, you’ll be able to explore more locations with Immersive View and search for specific spots based on a descriptive query like “things to do with friends at night.” For late-night options, Google Maps might pull up locations categorized as “speakeasies” or places with “live music.” Meanwhile, regular search results remain below these collections. These features are rolling out on Android and iOS this week in the US, building upon the AI integration Google began experimenting with earlier this year.
