What is Conversational AI?

Conversational AI refers to technology that uses advanced language models to interpret and respond to text or speech prompts from users in a way that feels natural. This means you can “talk” to the AI by typing or speaking, and it will understand and respond to your instructions as if you were having a conversation.

By using OpenAI’s large language model (LLM), Untappd for Business’ new feature understands design-related requests and then transforms them into immediate, real-time menu updates. So whether you’re updating a color scheme, adjusting layouts, or simply want a more elegant look, Design with AI can handle it with ease.

How Does AI Help with Digital Menu Design?

With Untappd for Business’s new Desight with AI feature, you can fine-tune your digital menus in seconds. The AI responds to your instructions in real-time, adapting each element to suit your needs. Here’s how it works:

  • Smart Customizations: The AI understands the context of your requests, such as changing the menu layout, fonts, or colors, and tailors these adjustments to fit your brand.
  • Real-Time Feedback Loop: With every change, the AI refines and learns from your preferences. The more you adjust, the better it becomes at predicting and delivering the look you’re going for.
  • Instant Preview on Any Device: Each change is displayed immediately in a browser preview or on your digital menu.
By using context-aware customizations and continuous adaptation, the AI can help you create a digital menu that reflects the unique style and vibe of your venue.

Using conversational AI to design your digital menu is as easy as typing what you’re looking for. Here are a few examples of prompts you might try:

  • “Make the menu look more elegant”: Instantly update the look and feel to reflect a sleek, elegant look.
  • “Add a warm color scheme for fall”: Adjust colors to match the season with cozy autumn tones.
  • “Adjust to a three-column layout”: Adjust the layout of the menu to use a three-column structure.
  • “Highlight high ABV drinks”: Draw attention to beverage items with higher ABV content.

With these prompts, you’re only a few clicks away from transforming your menu to fit any occasion or aesthetic.
