Spotlight Use Case Idea: The AI Personal Mixologist
Let's talk about an industry that's ready for a high tech upgrade and an easy sell for you: The local liquor or wine store. Here's a scene that happens a hundred times a day in every one of these stores. A customer walks in, full of good intentions. They want to host a party or try making a new cocktail. They confidently grab a bottle of gin... and then they stop. They stand in the aisle, looking at the rows of bitters, syrups, and liqueurs, completely lost. - "What else do I need for a Negroni?" - "How do I make a good whiskey sour?" - "I want to make a fun punch for my party, but I have no idea where to start." So what happens? They get intimidated, grab a bottle of tonic water, and leave. Your client just missed out on selling them three to four additional high margin items. Now, what if you could CLONE a master mixologist and put them in every aisle of that store, ready to give perfect recipes and complete shopping lists, 24/7? With the Spotlight feature, you can. You're not just selling them a tool; you're selling them a system to increase the size of every single sale. Here’s the "magic trick" you can build for them: 1. You capture the recipes. You don't need to be a bartender. You just need to source classic and modern cocktail recipes. You can find hundreds online. You'll train the AI on the ingredients, measurements, and instructions for each one. 2. You build their "At Home Mixologist" Spotlight. This becomes their interactive, in store guide. The Interface: You place QR codes in each main liquor aisle (The Whiskey Aisle, The Tequila Aisle, etc.) with a simple, enticing call to action: "Want to Make the Perfect Cocktail? Ask Our AI Mixologist."* The AI Config (The Secret Sauce): The prompt is key. You're not just asking for a recipe; you're asking for a shopping list. "You are a friendly, expert mixologist. The user will tell you what spirit they have or what cocktail they want to make. Your #1 job is to give them a complete shopping list of every single ingredient they will need, including fresh fruit or garnishes. After the list, provide the simple recipe instructions."
