Google Maps Rolls Out AI-Powered Personalized Recommendations, But Slow Speeds Limit Usefulness
- Google Maps launched an AI experiment to provide personalized recommendations for places
- The experiment initially rolled out to select Local Guides in the U.S. in February

- The main advantage is the ability to refine recommendations by asking follow-up questions
- The current weakness is the slow speed at which it processes and returns suggestions
