Zest’s new AI agent finds restaurants and books reservations over text
Zest uses your dining history—and your friends’—to help pick a table the group can agree on.
The app imports credit card transactions through Plaid and says it uses only food and drink purchases to personalize recommendations. Its new text concierge can join group chats, combine participants’ tastes and run a vote before booking through connected services including OpenTable, Resy and SevenRooms. Users can specify dietary restrictions, neighborhood and occasion, or request menus and available booking times. TechCrunch’s tests found the recommendations worked fairly well against preferences and practical constraints.
