Yelp’s Assistant AI bot will do all the talking to help users find service providers


You talk to the bot, the bot talks to the contractor.

After you review the final project request (generated based on what you asked for in your chat session), the bot can send it to service providers on your behalf, which Yelp says can result in better and more accurate price quotes. Yelp Assistant, powered by large language models from OpenAI, is available now in the iOS versions of its mobile app and will roll out on Android this summer. Yelp has added other generative AI features already, like the AI-powered review summaries of restaurants and nightlife businesses that it launched last year.
