The US-based social networking site Nextdoor, which brings neighbors together, recently announced the addition of generative AI technology to improve user experience. Nextdoor intends to experiment with new writing tools in its initial version in order to promote neighborhood communication. These new capabilities, created in partnership with OpenAI, will make better suggestions and assist users in creating more interesting posts by utilizing ChatGPT API. In an effort to encourage healthy community interaction, Nextdoor is now testing a new feature called "Assistant" that will assist neighbors in creating posts. Users can read a revised recommendation using this function, and they are able to review and change it before submitting it.

The implementation of these AI apps aims to promote more fruitful and interesting offline and online conversations. Nextdoor's chief product officer, Kiran Prasad, stated in a news release that "building on the foundations of our unique local knowledge graph, AI is already an integral part of the product experiences at Nextdoor." Our mission is to unite neighbors to forge closer ties among local residents. We are hopeful that generative AI apps will enable kinder, more useful, and more interesting conversations both online and offline, which will enable us to achieve this goal.

In order to improve the accuracy of material matching the needs and interests of neighbors, Nextdoor uses the analysis of discussion themes and circumstances. Through this procedure, the platform will be able to give users more accurate recommendations for nearby news, events, and activities. The use of generative AI by Nextdoor is consistent with its goal of fostering a community where neighbors can rely on one another. The startup plans to continue exploring generative AI models for special uses that benefit platform users globally, including nearby residents and businesses.
