The Dumbo Business Improvement District has officially rolled out Dumbo Concierge, an AI-powered neighborhood guide designed to help locals, office workers and visitors navigate one of New York City's busiest creative hubs."

Move here recently? Here's a way to discover the neighborhood's many gems through the voices and expertise of the businesses and community members who make it special.""
Dumbo Concierge is an AI-powered neighborhood guide launched by the Dumbo Business Improvement District and built by Pull.City. It answers hyperlocal conversational questions and returns written responses together with curated listings, events, and special offers sourced from local contributors. The platform uses data contributed and maintained by Dumbo businesses, organizations, and community members instead of scraping the wider internet. That community-managed approach keeps recommendations rooted in local knowledge and helps small businesses stay visible online. Users can ask about last-minute classes, happy hours, kid-friendly activities, or other hyper-specific needs, receiving place-tailored suggestions powered by advanced AI models.
