Meet Urbanary – The AI Revolution Changing How You Go Out in Leeds

Artificial intelligence is changing the way we live, work and connect – and now, how we discover our cities.

How often do you struggle to decide where to go out in Leeds? Constant back and forths in the group chat, not to mention the endless scrolling, only to end up at the same place you go every week. Luckily, there’s a better way. Urbanary is using AI for good, helping people discover Leeds in a smarter, more personal way.

Here’s everything you need to know about the AI-powered discovery tool that’s here to reshape the way we go out.



Urbanary is the brainchild of Leeds-born founder James Mills. With a background in sales and customer service, James has always been passionate about connecting people – and he’s got a firm grasp on how to deliver real value. Urbanary is the product of his passions and experience, blending local insight with cutting-edge AI technology to make discovering the city effortless.

While the hospitality sector has bounced back after the pandemic, there’s still a real need to attract new visitors in fresh, cost-effective ways. Locals flock to familiar favourites, while tourists rely on outdated, impersonal guides. Urbanary was built to change all of that. The free-to-use, AI-powered chatbot gives tailored recommendations, no app required. It’s a seamless way to explore, supporting both the people discovering the city and the venues that make it thrive.

Built on GPT-5 and integrated with Google and booking APIs, Urbanary learns from your preferences to make personalised recommendations based on your mood. Looking to relax with a quiet pint? Ask Urbanary. Got a hankering for Thai food? Urbanary knows just the place. For venues, it’s affordable, high ROI exposure. For users, it’s discovery without the leg work, with transparency and data privacy at its core.

Urbanary isn’t just another city guide, it’s a first-to-market platform in a scalable niche, with clear potential for national expansion. Backed by strong local partnerships and a Leeds-born founder with a deep understanding of the market, it’s set to grow fast. As AI continues to reshape how consumers make decisions, it’s the perfect time to get behind a brand that’s set to lead the revolution.

James’ life and business are rooted in Yorkshire values – community, ambition and authenticity. Living in Chapel Allerton with his young family, he’s passionate about shining a light on Leeds as a hub of innovation and culture. Urbanary is the perfect way to achieve that goal. It’s a platform that connects people, celebrates local life and helps businesses thrive – and it all starts right here in Leeds.
