Yelp Partners with OpenAI to Enhance ChatGPT
OpenAI and Yelp have teamed up to bring Yelp's reviews, ratings, and other business information directly into ChatGPT.
This means when you ask ChatGPT about local businesses, it can show you real reviews and ratings from Yelp.
Yelp will also add a feature called 'Request a Quote' so you can get estimates from local service providers without leaving ChatGPT.
OpenAI will control how this information is shown, and Yelp will get branding and links.
This partnership is part of a bigger trend where companies with lots of data are choosing to share it with AI developers instead of competing with them.
Yelp has done similar deals with other companies like Apple Maps and Yahoo.
However, Yelp is also suing Google for favoring its own local search results.
The deal helps ChatGPT give better answers by using real-world information instead of just AI-generated content.
