Gvidi is an intelligent restaurant search engine providing intellectual selection of food locations on the basis of users' individual tastes. http://gvidi.me At a time when the explosion of data around us is making our lives more complex, the app is making finding a place to eat simple. Gvidi analyzes user preferences to offer highly personalized recommendations, allows instantaneous table booking, and gives access to unique special offers. The free Gvidi app for iPhone and Android features a massive directory of bar, restaurant, and cafe locations, photos, and reviews made more intelligent by Gvidi's personalized search score. Based on your searching, location, interests, and social profiles, Gvidi recommends the best restaurants fitting your tastes. Every recommended place is given a percentage score based on its fit to your personal profile and can be filtered across multiple criteria (WiFi, non-smoking areas, working hours, etc.). Gvidi is based on sophisticated collaborative filtering algorithms. It processes data about habits and interests of users and their friends across a wide range of open sources e.g. Facebook, Twitter and Foursquare, and automatically creates a potential interest level for a certain type of food. As a result, Gvidi points out how much (0-100%) a user will like a cafe or restaurant nearby, and will suggest the highest ranked places. User feedback from ratings and connecting through social media ensures these recommendations only get smarter as you search.
