Wendy’s will start using an AI chatbot to take drive-through orders
First Snapchat, now Wendy’s. No one is safe from AI.
The fast food chain will use an artificial intelligence chatbot to take drive-through orders, reports The Wall Street Journal. The new chatbot runs on Google‘s natural-language processing software and is trained to understand customers’ orders. It will officially launch in June at a company-owned Wendy’s in Columbus, Ohio.
Training a chatbot for the drive-through is more complicated than you might think. The chatbot must understand all the ways someone might order. For example, it knows that a customer might call Wendy’s signature Frosty drink a milkshake and that a “JBC” is short for a junior bacon cheeseburger. To train the chatbot, Wendy’s team worked with Google to customize its large language models (or LLMs) to include Wendy’s specific terminology and slang.
Wendy’s Chief Executive Todd Penegor told The Wall Street Journal that the chatbot will be very conversational and indistinguishable from a regular employee. But we will believe it when we see it. It was even taught to upsell customers and how to adapt to patrons changing their orders. Roughly 80 percent of orders at Wendy’s are reportedly made through the drive-through, so the chatbot has the potential to make a huge impact.
Ordering through the drive-through is already stressful enough, and now we’ll have to deal with AI taking our orders, too.
Coronation orders of service are being flogged online for £400 by greedy guests of the King
GUESTS at the Coronation are cashing in on the King’s hospitality — by flogging orders of service.
Several have emerged on auction site eBay, with bids up to £400.
One seller included photos from Westminster Abbey to show the document was “not a mock-up”.
The hawker, of Barry, South Wales, wrote: “I have amazing memories but would rather someone with a passion for the royals owned it.”
They wrote: “Coronation of King Charles Ill and Queen Camilla-Official Order of Service. Given to me on my attendance at Westminster Abbey, in near perfect condition, used just for the service itself.
“Further proof of attendance can be provided at request.
“I also have a very expensive young daughter. I was supporting someone else to attend so was fortunate enough to be invited as a plus one.
“This is a genuine order of service given to me on the day, it is not a copy, print or mock up.”
Others were selling blank invitations and orders of service handed out to the media covering the ceremony
