Sommify — Intelligent Wine Assistance for Stores
Sommify is an AI-powered virtual sommelier built to make choosing wine easier for retail shoppers. By asking focused questions about taste and occasion, it identifies user preferences and recommends products directly from a retailer’s inventory. The goal is to simplify the decision process for customers while increasing conversion through personalized suggestions.
How the system learns and suggests
The assistant conducts a short conversational assessment to gather flavor preferences, budget, and context. Recommendations are then matched to items in the merchant’s catalog so suggestions are practical and immediately purchasable. The recommendation engine also benefits from the deep subject-matter input of Julie Dupouy, a veteran sommelier with more than 20 years in the profession.
