AI is reshaping the landscape of knowledge sharing and online access. When faced with the dilemma of weekend plans, AI now offers a simple solution — just ask for personalised recommendations based on your preferences. This is precisely why Playsee, a community-focused social media platform championing local connections, has introduced AI Local Expert, also known as AILEX, their innovative AI Chatbot. AILEX is specifically designed to help users discover hidden local gems and share their own experiences.

There are countless things to do every weekend in London and it’s easy to get overwhelmed by a million Sunday brunch options that you see on TikTok or Instagram. Instead of considering dozens of choices, AILEX simply shows you the best recommendations. Just ask AILEX for recommendations through the app’s navigation bar. The chatbot would then give suggestions closest to you, taking into account your interests and preferences. Looking for a vintage bookstore? Check. Searching for a yoga session on Sunday morning? AILEX has got you covered! AILEX considers your needs, factors in your preference and even the weather to share a personalised selection of hidden gems in your area.

AILEX, with the help of Playsee’s local knowledge, provides personalised location-specific suggestions so that you don’t need to spend hours finding trendy new spots and experiences. Also, it lets you connect with nearby communities that share your interests, whether you’re looking for a vintage shop, London’s best comedy club, or a flower shop in Notting Hill, AILEX has you covered.

Terry Hu, AILEX Product Manager at Playsee, said: “Cities such as London always have so much going on, with thousands of options to choose from for a meal with your friends, through to finding that local independent shop that has the perfect gift. We’re thrilled to launch Playsee’s AI chatbot AILEX to help you navigate between all of these options, while encouraging authentic connections with the communities around you.”

Launched in the UK earlier this year, Playsee has gained over 1 billion user engagements and has 50 million downloads worldwide, bringing people closer to their IRL community.

Playsee is free and available to download on the Apple App Store or Google Play Store on Android and iOS systems.
