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 to Get Started with the New AI-Powered Tool

Getting started with this new feature is simple, and if you’re an existing Untappd for Business customer, you already have access! Just log into your Untappd for Business account and start exploring the new design options.
