Expanding Generative AI to Help Small Businesses

With more than 60M business recommendations on the platform, Nextdoor is continuing its efforts to help small businesses thrive by expanding its generative AI Assistant feature. Rolling out in the U.S. over the next few months, Assistant uses cutting-edge language analysis technology to enable local businesses and public agencies to create more engaging posts to promote their organizations and also provide neighbors with suggestions to find a local service. Additional generative AI updates include business recommendation summaries on Nextdoor, which are automatically generated using verified neighbor recommendations and are viewable in the guest experience, enabling even those who don’t have a Nextdoor account to see what neighbors love about a business. This helps with improving awareness for a business and elevating its reputation to potential new customers. Small businesses often wear multiple hats of CEO, CMO, and CFO and Nextdoor’s generative AI updates can help small businesses with creating content that connects with their communities, leaving more time to grow their business.

Nextdoor is committed to aligning the use of generative AI technology with its values and mission. For more details regarding the principles in which the company strives to abide as it deploys generative AI, visit ai.nextdoor.com/generative-ai-principles/.
