## Lyft Launches AI “Earnings Assistant” to Help Drivers Maximize Profits
Lyft is rolling out a new AI-powered tool called “Earnings Assistant” designed to help drivers optimize their time and earnings on the road. This chatbot-like feature, currently in early access, promises to provide personalized recommendations and insights to help drivers make informed decisions about where and when to drive.
According to an email from Jeremy Bird, EVP of Driver Experience at Lyft, the Earnings Assistant aims to help drivers create data-driven plans based on real-time information like airport arrival schedules and local events. Drivers interested in trying the new feature will need to join a waitlist.
Once granted access, drivers can interact with the Earnings Assistant to create tailored plans and receive helpful reminders. The tool can also suggest optimal locations and times to drive, particularly beneficial for drivers unsure of where to find the most profitable rides.
Lyft’s example showcases a driver planning a five-hour shift in San Francisco, ending at an address in Oakland. The Earnings Assistant generates a visually appealing time-blocked itinerary that details planned locations and highlights “Turbo” times, indicating periods of higher earning potential.
The introduction of the Earnings Assistant is part of Lyft’s broader strategy to enhance the driver experience. Recent initiatives include updates to Lyft Rewards and the launch of the “Driver Accomplishment Letter,” another AI-powered feature that generates personalized summaries of a driver’s work, incorporating positive passenger feedback. These changes suggest Lyft is committed to leveraging AI to empower its drivers and foster a more rewarding driving experience.
