AI Summary

Zest, the restaurant‑discovery app launched earlier this year, unveiled a new AI‑powered “restaurant concierge” on Thursday. The feature operates through users’ text‑message threads, delivering personalized restaurant recommendations and enabling immediate reservation bookings without opening a separate app. Zest says the tool mirrors other conversational agents such as Instinct and Poke, reflecting a broader industry move toward AI assistants that handle tasks traditionally requiring dedicated mobile applications. The concierge aims to streamline the discovery‑to‑booking process entirely within SMS.
