As more people look to AI for search, we’ve been making sure we’re ahead of the curve for diners and most importantly, to serve our restaurant partners as this tech evolves quickly. Our partnership with OpenAI, which earlier this year saw us as the first restaurant tech partner for their Operator tool, has been amazing to see unfold, making a real impact on how people are discovering restaurants. We’re thrilled to be an initial partner later this year for their new Apps in ChatGPT. This feature surfaces apps when ChatGPT suggests one based on the conversation, or by calling them by name. Apps respond to natural language and include interactive interfaces you can use right in the chat. Read more on the rollout from OpenAI here: https://lnkd.in/gm8WX7Xw
