Yelp can now call on your behalf to check wait times at a restaurant

Key points

• Yelp is adding a feature that lets app users have an AI voice agent call a restaurant to check wait times. Users enter their party size and phone number on a restaurant page, and the agent texts back the results.
• The update also adds an OpenTable integration for booking without leaving the app, personalised assistant memory, and custom lists.
• A new paid product, Smart Lead Reply, will reply to business customers for $30 per month.
