How this works

Each month AIQ asks each assistant every question once, as a customer in Los Angeles would, and counts each business once per answer that names it. AI answers change from day to day, so this shows what they said on that date. It isn't a review, a ranking of quality or an endorsement, and no business paid to be on it.

A business that would rather not appear can ask to be removed: hello@socialiqstudio.com.
