Zest has introduced an AI agent that handles group dining decisions through text messaging. The agent gathers each person's preferences, suggests restaurant options, and coordinates a vote before making a reservation.

The service targets a common friction point: choosing a restaurant when a group has conflicting tastes. By automating the back-and-forth, it aims to reduce the time spent on planning and increase the likelihood of a confirmed booking.

This launch reflects a broader trend of AI agents moving beyond simple chatbots into task-completion roles. For restaurants, such tools could influence how reservations are generated, though adoption will depend on reliability and user trust.
