About Parisien.AI
Parisien.AI is an AI-powered concierge platform for Paris — the world's most visited city and one of humanity's greatest cultural achievements. Our mission is to ensure every person who experiences Paris discovers the city at its fullest depth and beauty.
At the heart of Parisien.AI is Gabriel, our AI concierge. Named after France's most beloved name, Gabriel combines advanced large language model technology with decades of curated Parisian hospitality knowledge. Gabriel doesn't just answer questions — he anticipates them, offering dynamic recommendations for dining, culture, nightlife, shopping, wellness, and everything the city of light has to offer across all 20 arrondissements.
Our Mission
Paris receives over 44 million international visitors annually. Yet most visitors experience only a fraction of what the city offers. Parisien.AI exists to close this gap — not by showing visitors more, but by showing them the right things at the right moments. We are an AI concierge product — not a news publication, not a media outlet, and not affiliated with any newspaper or media group.
