Starbucks coffee fuels the days of many people. While the company’s beverages are a bit expensive compared to, say, McDonalds or 7-11, they are chock full of caffeine and very tasty. Quite frankly, I drink Starbucks coffee or tea pretty much every day, as I often work in its locations — they have clean tables and free Wi-Fi.
The company has often embraced technology within its stores — it offers a nice mobile app with Spotify integration , and many of its tables offer wireless smartphone charging. Today, the company rolls out voice ordering through its own mobile iOS app or Amazon Alexa. Unfortunately, the iOS feature will be limited to 1,000 beta testers at first.
“Previously announced at Starbucks Investor Day, My Starbucks barista, is powered by groundbreaking Artificial Intelligence (AI) for the Starbucks Mobile App. The integration of the feature within the mobile app allows customers to order and pay for their food and beverage items simply by using their voice.
