CityDrinks, the premier online alcohol delivery platform in Abu Dhabi, is proud to introduce its latest innovation: Genie, the AI Sommelier. This cutting-edge technology, integrated into their app and accessible via citydrinks.ai, is set to redefine the at-home drinking experience. Offering personalized recommendations, expert food pairings, and comprehensive education for a wide range of beverages, Genie is a game-changer for beverage enthusiasts.
A Revolution in Online Beverage Shopping
CityDrinks, founded by seasoned entrepreneur Dominique Szymura, has rapidly established itself as the first 100% online home delivery alcohol company in the UAE. Since its launch in November 2023, the app has garnered thousands of customers and downloads, receiving over 200 daily orders. The brand offers a seamless online shopping experience on its app and website, boasting one of the widest selections of fine spirits, exquisite wines, craft beers, glassware, bar accessories, cocktail ingredients, and gourmet snacks for the perfect at-home party.
Introducing Genie: Your Personal AI Sommelier
On its 6th month of operations, CityDrinks unveils another game-changing feature for its discerning clientele. Genie, the AI Sommelier powered by GPT-4 Turbo, is designed to be faster and more efficient than earlier AI generations. It can offer quicker responses and speak various languages such as Arabic, Indian, Spanish, French, Japanese, Korean, and Filipino. Based on individual preferences, budget, and occasion, Genie suggests a variety of beverages that align with a user’s needs, considering factors such as type, region, production method, and flavor profile.
Personalized Beverage Recommendations
Whether planning a dinner party or enjoying a meal at home, Genie suggests the perfect beverage pairings to complement dishes by analyzing the flavors and ingredients in the food to recommend drinks that enhance the dining experience. This personalized approach ensures that every meal is paired with the ideal drink, elevating the overall dining experience.
Educational Resources and Cellar Management
In addition to providing recommendations, Genie offers educational resources to help customers learn more about beverage appreciation and tasting techniques. For collectors or enthusiasts with growing collections, Genie helps manage the cellar by tracking inventory, suggesting optimal drinking windows for ageing wines and spirits, and recommending when to purchase or consume specific bottles. Genie tailors its recommendations and suggestions using advanced machine-learning algorithms based on past preferences and feedback. Over time, it learns individual taste preferences and refines its recommendations to better suit each customer’s palate.
Empowering Customers with Knowledge and Convenience
Szymura commented on this innovative addition: “At CityDrinks, we aim to revolutionize the online beverage shopping experience by making it more personalized and informative. We may be an online platform, but we want to build a lasting relationship with our stakeholders that transcends transactions. Genie was built to empower customers to learn more about what they consume and expand their choices by speaking to a knowledgeable, friendly, and witty online sommelier who can recommend drinks tailored to their preferences. In line with CityDrinks’ commitment to accessibility and customer satisfaction, Genie is free to use to ensure everyone can benefit from its expertise. Everything it recommends can be found on the CityDrinks app and website.”
