YelP has added an AI-powered search and booking feature to its business platform, allowing users to book appointments and order food directly from a Yelp listing or through the Yelp Assistant. The company aims to become a destination for local businesses, not just for user-contributed reviews, but for answering questions about local businesses. The assistant can also provide an explanation for each result, highlighting relevant details from reviews and company websites, and can also handle follow-up queries. The integration comes as part of Yelp's strategy to become more proactive about booking services and providing more information about local services.
