Harnessing the Power of AI for a Seamless User Experience

Janis leverages the power of artificial intelligence to understand user intent and preferences. This means no more endless browsing or sifting through search results. Instead, users can have a natural conversation with Janis, asking questions like “Where’s the best place for date night in Joplin?” or “What are some fun events happening this weekend in Joplin?” Janis then utilizes her knowledge of our comprehensive directory and understanding of user behavior to recommend the perfect businesses and experiences.

With Janis, we’re not just introducing a new feature, we’re fundamentally changing how people interact with Explore Joplin. We believe this technology will create a more intuitive, personalized, and delightful experience for everyone – from longtime residents to curious visitors.

Shaping the Future of Local Business Discovery

The introduction of Janis is just the beginning. We see immense potential in utilizing AI to further enhance local business discovery and create a more connected ecosystem. Here’s what the future holds:

  • Even Smarter Recommendations: We’re committed to continuously refine Janis’s AI algorithms, allowing her to learn and adapt to user preferences with even greater precision.
  • Unlocking New Opportunities for Businesses: Imagine a future where businesses can leverage AI to engage customers more effectively, showcase their offerings in personalized ways, and gain valuable insights into user behavior.

However, we believe the future of AI in local business discovery requires collaboration. We invite local businesses and sponsors to join us on this journey. Together, we can explore innovative ways to leverage AI to create a thriving and dynamic local business scene that benefits both businesses and users alike.

Our Commitment to Responsible AI

At Explore Joplin, we recognize the vast potential of AI, but we also understand the importance of responsible development and deployment.

We’ve chosen to partner with OpenAI to build our products, a leader in AI technology. All information collected through Janis interactions is anonymized and used solely for improving Janis’s accuracy and functionality. Additionally, we provide clear and transparent information about data collection within our privacy policy.
