Zest has introduced a new artificial intelligence agent designed to simplify dining decisions and table bookings over text messaging. The AI concierge gathers preferences from group members, aggregates individual tastes, and suggests restaurant options that can be put to a vote. Once the group agrees on a dining location, the tool automatically completes the reservation. The service targets the friction in group dining coordination by integrating preference matching, voting mechanisms, and direct booking capabilities into a conversational text interface, streamlining the entire social planning workflow for everyday consumers.
