  • Niv Gilboa launched the "Gilboa Index" app featuring over 650 restaurant reviews.
  • The app allows users to write their own reviews and create a "public index."
  • An AI engine will personalize restaurant recommendations for users.
  • Gilboa recently moved to i24NEWS to host a daily program called "The Gilboa Index."
  • The app consolidates Gilboa's various media activities into one platform.

Niv Gilboa, a prominent restaurant critic, content creator, and media personality known for his uncompromising reviews, has launched a new technological platform. The "Gilboa Index" app, available for free on Apple and Google app stores, aggregates a vast culinary database built from his years of experience. Currently, the app features over 650 comprehensive reviews of restaurants in Israel and worldwide, with more than 500 including his traditional ratings. Users can explore hundreds of eateries, read precise recommendations, and watch Gilboa's video reviews, including segments from his daily show on i24NEWS.

The app is designed to be an interactive, collaborative platform. For the first time, users can actively contribute by writing their own reviews and assigning ratings, creating a "public index" alongside Gilboa's professional one. Additionally, the platform incorporates an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) engine. This AI is intended to learn user preferences and help them quickly and intelligently find suitable dining options, from quick meals in Israel to fine dining abroad.

The app's launch marks a significant professional renewal for Gilboa. In February, he left Channel 13 to join i24NEWS, where he hosts a daily program, "The Gilboa Index," covering consumerism, economy, and culinary criticism. Gilboa also maintains an active presence on social media, including a popular YouTube channel for his review videos and active TikTok and Instagram accounts. The new app aims to consolidate all his media activities, leveraging his dedicated audience into an independent platform offering an advanced technological solution for restaurant discovery.
