booqu

The first online concierge that uses artificial intelligence to find and book local services.

booqu is the first online concierge that uses artificial intelligence and machine learning to find and book local services. When searching for a services or goods, what do we normally do? We Google, we read reviews, we validate these names with friends, Facebook, Trip Advisor, Yelp, and others, and then call the shortlist of merchants we’ve narrowed down. booqu has consolidated this drawn-out process into one easy step. Users specify what they need, when they need it, and how far they are willing to travel. booqu's proprietary algorithm finds the best slot for each merchant located in the specified range. From these offers users decide which one is the best. Every week, merchants have the ability to add their unbooked slots in a flexible way, offering discounts for certain times or days. booqu uses AI and machine learning to offer customized experiences based on users' previous selections. Imagine a cool personal assistant who books services knowing your personal preferences and habits. If merchants have a last minute cancellation or an unbooked slot, booqu will notify local users of the availability. Users can choose any service offered by the merchant and then book and pay directly through the app. booqu is a U.S.-based company that was founded in 2016 by Mattia Mauceri.
