How to Use Andy’s Places

Ever wish Google Maps could understand exactly what you’re looking for?
Andy’s Places helps you find spots that match your intent—based on what real people say in reviews.

Example searches:

• Classy cocktail bar near me with a low-key atmosphere
• Mexican food restaurant known for their chilaquiles
• Motorcycle mechanic that works on Honda bikes
• Coffee shops near me that are good for remote working

How it works:

• A language model reviews full Google reviews to find places that match your search.
• Then it ranks those places using Bayesian scoring—a method that factors in both rating and number of reviews, so places with lots of strong reviews rise to the top.

Results depend on what’s actually written in the reviews. If no one’s mentioned it, the place won’t show up—even if it might be a good fit.

Feedback is welcome. Hope it helps.
