Yelp's updated AI assistant can now answer questions and complete bookings in one conversation Yelp just relaunched its AI assistant as a central feature of the app, moving it to the middle of the bottom nav bar. The idea is to shift Yelp from a review platform to an answers and actions platform where users ask a question and complete a task without leaving the chat. In one flow you can search for dog friendly hiking spots, find takeout along the route through DoorDash, and book a restaurant for the weekend. Integrations now include DoorDash, Grubhub, Vagaro for fitness and beauty, ZocDoc for doctors, Repairpal for cars, and Calendly for other businesses. The current setup redirects users to partner apps to complete transactions rather than handling everything in chat. Yelp acknowledged that may not remain the case, signaling a push toward fully agentic flows in the future. #AI #Yelp #ConversationalAI #LocalTech #AgenticAI #ProductUpdates #TechNews
