But to go a step beyond what a simple Google search would do, I asked the AI to find date night spots located in historic buildings.<\/p>\n<p>As a bit of a foodie, I didn&#8217;t expect to see anything unfamiliar on the list, but I was surprised by Perplexity&#8217;s response. The AI curated a list of five local restaurants, two of which I had never heard of before. Beyond just listing locations, though, Perplexity also gave details about the history behind each building.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><!----><\/p>\n<p>I decided to give one of the new ones a shot.<\/p>\n<h2>Booking a restaurant with Perplexity<\/h2>\n<p>Perplexity&#8217;s restaurant reservation feature isn&#8217;t like <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/my-8-chatgpt-agent-tests-produced-only-1-near-perfect-result-and-a-lot-of-alternative-facts\/\">ChatGPT&#8217;s agent mode<\/a>, which switches between two services; it actually uses the reservation platform. Making a reservation works exactly the same as if I went straight to OpenTable.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>After choosing a restaurant, I selected a date, time, and party size. The next screen asked for my contact information and any special requests, such as whether I was celebrating a birthday or anniversary. Once that was done, I had a table. I got a link to manage the reservation and email confirmation from OpenTable. I had no reason to doubt things worked correctly, but I was able to access my reservation by going directly through OpenTable, too.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>While I could accomplish the exact same thing without using Perplexity, the process was so smooth that I&#8217;ll definitely use it again &#8212; both for finding restaurants and booking a table.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Also: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/this-handy-ai-voice-recorder-has-changed-the-way-i-work-and-its-easy-to-use\/\">This handy AI voice recorder has changed the way I work (and it&#8217;s easy to use)<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Before, I&#8217;d usually use Google to find restaurants and then head off to another site to make a reservation. I might ask an AI chatbot for help, but I&#8217;m usually one to read through reviews first. Perplexity&#8217;s partnership removes that middle step and makes the process a lot easier. In fact, after trying it out a few times, it&#8217;s probably going to be my new source for trying to decide on a restaurant.&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><em>Want more stories about AI? <\/em><a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/newsletters\/\"><strong><em>Sign up for Innovation<\/em><\/strong><\/a><em>, our weekly newsletter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>READ MORE <a href=\"https:\/\/www.zdnet.com\/article\/i-used-perplexity-to-make-a-restaurant-reservation-now-im-wondering-if-google-is-holding-us-back\/\">HERE<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The newest AI tool connects directly to OpenTable, so you don&#8217;t have to navigate between apps or tabs to book tables.READ MORE HERE&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"colormag_page_layout":"default_layout","footnotes":""},"categories":[62],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-59147","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-zdnet-security"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.9 -
