Naver Maps has introduced a feature that allows users to find and book desired locations through artificial intelligence (AI) conversations. Users can input their requirements in natural language, and the service will recommend places, facilitating bookings with businesses that use Naver Reservations.
On September 17, Naver unveiled 'Place Agent,' an AI-based conversational search feature specialized for location exploration within the Naver Maps app. This tool recommends places based on the user's conversation context and location information.
Place Agent utilizes information from registered locations on Naver Maps, including restaurants, cafes, bakeries, hotels, guesthouses, beauty salons, and veterinary clinics, to find suitable places based on user search criteria.
The feature understands conversational search queries and can accommodate multiple conditions within a single sentence. For instance, if a user inputs, 'Recommend a bakery tour in Seongsu-dong' or 'A quiet cafe in Yeonnam-dong for reading on a rainy day,' the service will provide a list of places that meet those criteria.
The responses include details such as addresses, operating hours, menus, phone numbers, and user reviews from Naver, along with blog posts about the recommended locations.
If the recommended place uses Naver Reservations, users can also make bookings through the conversation. For example, if a user types, '(Business Name) please reserve for four people at noon tomorrow,' the system will summarize the necessary conditions, confirm the user's agreement, and proceed with the reservation upon acceptance.
Place Agent is available to logged-in users aged 14 and older. A notification indicating that the information was generated by AI will always be displayed with the agent's responses.
