Hyper Local AI Chat & AI Voice Needed
in progress
Rosina Bignall
You can almost already do this using a GHL AI Chat/Voice bot (I have one on my site highdesertthrive.org ). SDAI just NEEDS (for many reasons besides this) to be indexable so that the GHL AI Knowledge base can get the information. There is a workaround using a table to upload the data, but you can't get everything that's in SDAI from the GHL contacts download so you can get as much data as you want right now, but fix the indexable problem or at least put the data in GHL instead of SDAI's database and don't add more complexity to SDAI for something we already have the ability to do through GHL.

Make Smart Directory actually genius: integrated AI chatbot with full data access

Imagine this: a visitor lands on my Smart Directory site and, instead of searching or browsing, they just ask, “Where can I find a dog-friendly vegan brunch spot open before 10am with outdoor seating?” And the AI bot responds instantly, pulling from business hours, tags, descriptions, blog posts, reviews—even menus.
This isn’t just a chatbot bolted onto the front. I’m talking about a fully integrated AI assistant that has direct access to the directory’s full data layer:
• Business info
• Categories & tags
• Reviews
• Menus
• Hours
• Blog content
• Offers & events
All indexed. All instantly accessible. All updated dynamically as directory content changes.
This would be a truly intelligent directory, not just a smart one. A first-of-its-kind, conversation-driven experience that elevates directory sites from static listings to guided, AI-powered discovery tools.
We already have the structured data. Let’s unlock it.
I’m all in on this feature. Imagine how you could use it— and sell it. Let’s make it happen, yeah?

Great idea this could also help with local searches and likely be picked up for SEO.

This is the sort of thing I was thinking of too. Obviously people use Google and put in search terms, sometimes log-tailed keywords, looking in their local area for a particular service. The problem for local businesses is that they are hostage to the Google algorithm. If our SmartDirectories could provide great local search results without those businesses needing to spend effort on local SEO it could prove a winner. It may also prove to be a winner for those people searching for local services.
Plus, it will encourage local businesses to have premium listings with much more content that helps the AI bot to know more about them.
