On the lookout for local weekend activities? Get by with a little help with AI!

AI has become increasingly common on social media platforms nowadays, with major players like X, Facebook, Snapchat using AI to monitor their platforms and curate personalised content for their users. Another social media app that understands what users want and need is Playsee, the neighbourhood-centric social media platform highlighting local connections and hidden gems, who has launched an AI Local Expert, or AILEX. A one-of-a-kind AI Chatbot, AILEX is designed to help you make the most out of your day-to-day activities in your local area and put a stop to endless scrolling.

When you’re spoiled for choice and can’t think of where to go, try asking AILEX for recommendations through the app’s navigation bar. The friendly ghost-shaped chatbot will share its best suggestions in your neighbourhood based on your interests and preferences, even taking into account the weather! AILEX crafts the perfect adventure and shares hidden gems and local delights even the most seasoned local didn’t know existed.

Leveraging Playsee’s local expertise, AILEX delivers location-specific recommendations, saving you the hassle of spending hours discovering the latest experiences in London, in your area! Moreover, it facilitates connections with neighbouring communities that align with your interests. Whether you’re in search of a local pub for a cold pint, London’s best spot for a Sunday roast or a moody vinyl store in Shoreditch, 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.
