Google Maps Taps AI to Offer Personalized Recommendations for Places to Go
- Google Maps is adding generative AI to help users discover new places to go based on their preferences and parameters
- The AI will leverage Google's database of over 250 million places and 300 million user contributions to make recommendations
- Users can ask follow-up questions to refine suggestions, allowing the AI to keep context and have a conversation
- The feature will first be tested with Google Maps' most active "Local Guides" contributors in the US
- This could be one of the most practical uses of generative AI by eliminating decision fatigue and hangry searching for places
