"The open data source for independent hospitality operators — a utility layer curated by human experts for use by consumer-facing AI search engines like ChatGPT."

AI search is becoming normal

Every day, more of what we call "Googling" is increasingly handled by conversational systems: ChatGPT, Perplexity, Claude — and even Google themselves present us all with AI search options.

• If a friend tells you about a new restaurant, you don't necessarily go immediately to its website — you may just speak to ChatGPT or Siri to get the lowdown.
• If you see a wonderful looking foodie post on Instagram and you fancy going — you still search for facts before you book.
• If you're in a foreign city and a concierge recommends somewhere — you probably still consult your phone.

Where we once scrolled, compared and filtered through ads and noise, we now ask one question, get one answer — and it feels effortless and convincing.

We are becoming reliant on assistants

The days of humans trawling the web are ending — the way we search is changing.

What this means for hospitality

Venues now live across a maze of disconnected platforms — booking systems, social media, websites, Google Business profiles — each demanding constant updates. The treadmill consumes hours while algorithms reward ad spend and follower volume over merit.

And now there's a new layer: AI-driven search is redefining how people decide where to eat or drink next.

The problem

AI systems are built on static data. Menus change, opening hours shift, offers appear and disappear — yet outdated fragments linger online, building a digital fossil record that operators can't erase.

The fix: hannah

If Thursday evening is looking quiet, you can post to followers on Instagram, send a newsletter, update your website, or pay a platform to compete with every other venue…

OR

You can send a simple message to hannah and have that promotion in front of the world's AI search systems within seconds — reaching millions more future guests.

We build a definitive, unbiased, AI-optimised data source for London's independent venues. Our core service is complimentary: we're committed to ensuring your establishment's information is consistently accurate, perfectly structured, and visible to AI systems — so answers are truth, not guesswork.

Why this matters now

We are entering the AI-first discovery era. If you're not represented in that layer, you will vanish.
