TOGETHER WITH
Good morning, human brains. Welcome back to your daily munch of AI news.
Here’s what’s on the menu today:
AI bartenders in Las Vegas 🥃🥂
Tipsy Robot, a semi-automated bar, opened its second location.
‘Yuge Zoom AI update 🦾 🤖🥃🥂
Zoom IQ becomes Zoom AI Companion, a more powerful AI assistant.
Google’s luxury beauty AI 💁♀️
Estée Lauder announced a partnership with Google to leverage AI for beauty brands.
APPETIZER
Las Vegas AI bartenders 🥃 🥂
Tipsy Robot opened its second location. It’s a bar that uses two AI-powered robots to serve drinks.
Don’t cut me off, bot.
It’s located inside Planet Hollywood on the Las Vegas strip.
Keep the change:
1/ Sabrina Bergman, an employee, says she’s not worried about robots replacing her.
2/ She helps them tend the bar, corrects their mistakes, tops off drinks, etc.
3/ She and other service workers claim machines don’t have the same touch and don’t provide the same experience.
4/ They argue that machines oftentimes add more work.
Our take: The Tipsy Robot’s opening inevitably brought up the “human vs. robots” debate. The first one opened up back in 2018, and it did the same back then.

MAIN COURSE
Zoom AI Companion is here 🦾 🤖
Zoom unveiled Zoom AI Companion. It’s a digital assistant for paid Zoom users.
Dangle that carrot.
It was formerly known as Zoom IQ.
Nuts n’ bolts:
1/ Zoom AI Companion integrates into Zoom products like Meetings, Chat, Phone, Email, Whiteboard, etc.
2/ It summarizes meetings, drafts messages, etc.
3/ It uses a “federated approach” to incorporate its own LLM with those from Meta Llama 2, OpenAI, and Anthropic.
4/ AI Companion’s features are disabled by default. Users decide to use them or not.
Our take: In March, Zoom faced criticism for changes to its policy stating its intent to use customer data (audio, video, etc.) to train its AI. In this release, it claimed it won’t use customer data to train its AI models.
Flippy floppy.
A LITTLE SOMETHING EXTRA
Google’s luxury beauty AI 💁♀️
Estée Lauder announced a partnership with Google. The goal is to create generative AI across its luxury brands.
Classy, bougie, ratchet.
1/ The collab aims to use Generative AI to create responsive, personalized customer interactions for beauty brands like Estée Lauder, Clinique, Tom Ford, etc.
2/ They plan to analyze consumer sentiments in real-time with AI across social media and other touchpoints.
3/ ELC already has experience with Google Cloud’s Vertex AI, BigQuery, Looker, etc.
Our take: This partnership makes a lot of sense. One of beauty brands’ biggest problems with online shopping is personalization. If customers can visualize how they’ll look in something, they’re more likely to buy it.
