Perplexity turns chatbot into a Yelp information source

Perplexity, an artificial intelligence company, has announced the integration of Yelp data into its chatbot.

Here's What We Know

Perplexity will provide users with access to reviews, ratings, and other information about restaurants directly in the chat. According to Perplexity's CEO, this is a step towards providing users with quick and convenient access to the information they are looking for. The integration allows Perplexity to include maps, photos, and even quotes from reviews in its responses.

This new functionality makes Perplexity one of the most convenient options for users looking for restaurants and cafes.

Integration with Yelp is just the beginning for Perplexity, which plans to expand its functionality by collaborating with other data sources, such as WolframAlpha for maths computing and other answer systems.

Note that Perplexity has not disclosed the financial details of its deal with Yelp and claims that it will not use the data to train its models.
