Zest’s new AI agent finds restaurants and books reservations over text
Zest , the restaurant discovery app that launched earlier this year, is already thinking about a future where mobile apps are no longer the primary interface.
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.
