AI Business Directories
Smarter listings with AI. The only automated directory built for tourism teams.
Local listings shouldn’t be a full-time job
Tourism teams and BIAs have enough on their plates. Manually managing business listings (chasing updates, checking hours, uploading photos) is time-consuming and often out of date.
With Driftscape’s AI Business Directories, you get a smart, self-updating directory that’s made for tourism. All you need is a list of business names. Our AI does the rest. It gathers verified info from trusted sources and automatically updates as things change.
Spend less time maintaining, and more time connecting visitors to what makes your destination shine.
What Is an AI Business Directory?
An automated directory powered by AI, designed for tourism. No manual edits, no outdated info: just smarter listings, always up to date.
Save hours from manually entering data, our platform pulls real-time info like hours, links, and photos from verified sources including Google, Apple, and business websites. It stays up to date, so you don’t have to.
How it works
1. Upload Your Business List
Give us a list of your local businesses (just the names are fine), but you can also share the addresses, photos, and GPS location to fine-tune the process.
2. AI Gathers the Details
Our system automatically pulls each business’s location, hours, contact info, website, and photos.
3. Listings Go Live
Your business directory is ready within days, fully integrated with maps, list views, and optional Augmented Reality. No manual upkeep needed.
New: AiListing Mode
Now available in every Driftscape directory: AiListing Mode takes your business listings even further.
Our AI doesn’t just pull contact info and hours. It also generates rich, accurate descriptions for each business using verified online data. These enhanced listings highlight what makes each business special, giving visitors a clear reason to explore.
Want to customize them? You can always edit, adjust tone, or switch any listing back to regular mode. It's flexible and fully under your control.
