Yelp is expanding its artificial intelligence capabilities through several new tools. The company introduced ‘Check for Me’, an AI-powered voice agent that calls restaurants to confirm wait times for users and sends the information via text message. This feature includes enhanced personalization and integration with OpenTable.

Additionally, Yelp announced ‘Smart Lead Reply’, an AI agent designed for home service businesses to answer and qualify ‘Request a Quote’ inquiries within message threads. This business-facing tool is scheduled for rollout next month at a cost of $30 per month. The broader product release also includes new booking integrations with various service platforms such as ServiceTitan and Jobber.
