The problem it solves

Finding the right restaurant, cafe, or venue for a specific vibe means scrolling through reviews and ratings yourself, and generic map searches don't understand what you actually mean by 'quiet' or 'cozy'. You want a real recommendation, not just a list of results.

Who it fits

A team or business that wants curated local recommendations delivered where they already work, in Slack.

How it works

  1. You describe what you're looking for in Slack, like 'a quiet place to work'
  2. AI turns your request into the right search terms and location
  3. The automation searches for matching places and filters out low-rated ones
  4. AI reads the reviews of the remaining places and picks the best matches
  5. You receive a Slack message with the top picks and why they were chosen
What you get

Spot recommendations picked from real reviews

You get a shortlist of nearby places with reasons why, delivered right in Slack.

What you get

A Slack message with a short list of curated place recommendations and the reasoning behind each pick.

What you need

A Slack workspace, an Apify account, and an OpenRouter API key.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
