    AI Coffee

    A performance art project to create a pop-up coffee shop that runs on an experimental Chat GPT conversation. The whole thing is a mechanical Turk. Perhaps this project should be called OZ coffee. In reference to the Wizard of Oz, who is always pulling levers behind the scenes.


    Original Proposal UX flow:


    1. Scan a QR code at the coffee pop up to begin a SMS chat conversation to order your coffee.

    2. Prompt: What kind of coffee would you like and can I have your name for the order? (It’s free)

    3. The customers name is hand written on the counter by a wand to suggest what could be automated with the delivery process while a lively conversation goes back and forth about the coffee order.

    4. No matter what the customer orders, they just get a regular coffee from a basic Keurig machine behind the curtain.

    5. The last message in the conversation will be asking to provide a 1 star review to be helpful to future customers. ⭐️
