初创公司 Zest 于周四正式推出一款名为“餐厅管家”的 AI 功能，该服务运行在短信界面中 1。这一举措标志着 Zest 从独立应用程序向对话式 AI 代理产品的转型，其首席执行官 Mario Gomez-Hall 表示：“现在代理产品就是核心。” 1 用户只需发送短信至 (212) 470-6067 即可与系统互动，该工具支持群聊投票及多人口味融合功能 1。
在技术实现上，这款 AI 代理通过分析用户的信用卡消费历史来建立口味画像，相关数据经由金融科技公司 Plaid 接入 1。这种数据驱动的方式使得系统能够追踪用户的实际就餐偏好 1。此外，Zest 集成了 OpenTable、Resy 和 SevenRooms 等第三方预订平台，使用户能够在短信对话中直接完成订座操作 1。Gomez-Hall 指出，“预订和点餐是首批收入线。” 1
Zest 成立于 2024 年 11 月，此前已获得来自 Alexis Ohanian（776）和 Steve Jang（Kindred Ventures）的 180 万美元种子前轮融资 1。
Startup Zest launched its new artificial intelligence-powered "restaurant concierge" feature on Thursday, which operates entirely through text messages 1. This release marks a strategic shift from the company's standalone app to a conversational agent interface 1. CEO Mario Gomez-Hall stated, “The agent is the product now,” noting that the move aims to simplify user interaction and expand reach 1. To provide personalized recommendations, the system analyzes users' actual dining preferences derived from their credit card spending history, which is imported via fintech company Plaid 1.
Users engage with the service by texting (212) 470-6067, where the AI can facilitate group chat voting and merge multiple people's tastes to suggest suitable spots 1. The platform integrates directly with third-party reservation services such as OpenTable, Resy, and SevenRooms to automate the booking process 1. Founded in November 2024, Zest previously raised $1.8 million in pre-seed funding from investors including Alexis Ohanian of 776 and Steve Jang of Kindred Ventures 1. As part of its business model evolution, Gomez-Hall identified “Booking and ordering” as the company’s first revenue lines 1.
