What's New in Zesty

2.3.0

March 19, 2026

- Agentic chat: Zesty is now fully conversational. It works with you step by step to hone in on the exact place you're looking for, and intelligently suggests similar vibes or nearby options if the perfect match doesn't exist. If Zesty can't find it immediately, it'll run an on-the-fly web search to get you the info you're looking for! - Availability + Reservations: Zesty now surfaces availability insights and routes you directly to booking, so there's no more app-hopping - Global availability: Zesty is now able to query anywhere you are - no more restrictions. Also the map view is cleaner, easier to navigate, and now understands landmarks and POIs (e.g. "near Industry City") - Itinerary + Trip Planning: Planning a visit to a new city? Ask Zesty to set up your day by day food journey - it can create dinner + cocktails moves, breakfast + cafe visits, and anything in between - Chat history: Scroll back through everything you've searched. Revisit results from last week without starting over. - Personalized lists: Create and share food playlists — think "Top matcha spots in SF" or "NYC spots you have to try." Not sure where to start? Zesty can create a list for you, just ask! - Enhanced Personalization: Zesty will save your preferences that it learns through your chats, and tailor future recommendations most applicable for you - Multiplayer Mode: Add friends, follow their feed - most importantly, search together. Try "what does @friend like?" - Lights On / Lights Off: choose your preferred appearance, light mode or dark mode, or keep the vibe that your phone automatically has

Cool App

Great app for finding where to eat, love the “what’s good here” summaries

Good to use

Solid

Actually impressed

Zesty v2 is really, really good. Very impressed.

Biggest update for me is the list generation and how it feels tailored and personalized to me, vs a ranking of generic/popular spots.

I’ve been using it to plan date nights and my upcoming travels. Lovely all in one app.

Fun to use, great food recs 😋

I've enjoyed using Zesty so so much! It's been such an amazing way to find new places, and to either decide something spur-of-the-moment based on what I feel like, or to plan months in advance. I can basically just type out the exact vibe I'm craving — creative chocolate desserts, spanish tapas, a quick light bite, an authentic meal that will transport me straight to Georgia, etc. etc. — and Zesty never disappoints. I've been having such a blast discovering great new recs!

After updating, it’s much better!

The search is so much better in the latest version. It understands my personal preferences and it supports one question list creation!
