Courtyard provides a platform that centralizes a business’s menus, FAQs, documents, and schedules, automatically syncing this information so AI assistants like ChatGPT or Gemini can access up-to-date, detailed knowledge about the business. By making this data readily available to AI, the service helps potential customers discover, learn, and make purchasing decisions, driving more traffic to studios, restaurants, and home‑service providers.

Problem
AI assistants such as ChatGPT and Gemini often provide incomplete or inaccurate answers about local businesses because they lack access to up‑to‑date, structured information like menus, FAQs, schedules, and documents. This knowledge gap leads customers to receive vague responses, be redirected elsewhere, or miss out on booking opportunities.
Solution
Courtyard offers a centralized AI knowledge base that aggregates a business’s key information—menus, FAQs, documents, and schedules—into a format that AI assistants can read and reason over. Users can upload files, link existing sources, or categorize content, and Courtyard’s Auto Knowledge Builder continuously extracts, validates, and updates the data. The platform then publishes the curated knowledge in a machine‑readable form accessible to major AI assistants (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.). Businesses gain visibility across AI search and conversational interfaces, ensuring customers receive accurate, up‑to‑date answers and can proceed to booking or purchase directly through the assistant. Analytics show how AI queries are answered, allowing businesses to monitor and improve their AI presence.
Target Audience
Primary customers are small to medium‑size local businesses such as restaurants, gyms, dental offices, med spas, car dealerships, independent hotels, and vacation rental operators that rely on AI assistants for customer discovery and booking.
