Great stuff, I tried it for the London area where I live, and tested it with pizza - it actually showed me the best places with highest reviews.

The results of the search are too fast, what tech did you use?

Thanks for the feedback and happy that you found your restaurant. Currently we are using typesense. We have picked approx 500 restaurants in London from google reviews.

That's cool! I often end up reading many reviews to get a good perspective. I live in Germany, when will the restaurants in Germany be presented in the same way?

thanks for the feedback. In the near future we have planned to expand our listing. Berlin and Munich will be our top priority.

Butler, inspired by Perplexity, is an AI-powered and conversational search engine that assists users in finding restaurants by answering queries such as "a cosy restaurant that serves italian food and has a price range of $100-$200" and querying reviews to determine whether the restaurant meets their needs, such as "what do people think of pasta? "What do people dislike about this location?”

We have published the MVP, which includes basic functionality such as restaurant search and reviews, including a list of some of the top restaurants in London, Paris, New York, San Francisco and Barcelona.

Great idea!
