Abstract:
Disclosed herein are techniques for enhancing online or digital platforms by enabling them to intelligently suggest physical meeting locations to one or more users of the platforms. In one embodiment, a method includes detecting an intent of a first user to meet at a physical location based upon messages exchanged between the first user and a second user via a messaging platform, selecting a list of physical locations from a pre-configured list of physical locations based upon information associated with the first user, and causing the list of physical locations to be displayed to the first user. In response to receiving information indicating selection of a first physical location from the list of physical locations from the first user, information identifying the first physical location can be displayed to the second user for the second user to accept or reject the first physical location.
