Master Sommelier

AI Solution Objective

An association of sommeliers wanted to provide tools for their members and clients that could visually scan any wine label and immediately provide both purchasing options and pairing solutions in a conversational AI chat.

Contextual Solution

A mobile app working against Contextual-provided APIs allows for any wine label picture to be submitted for AI analysis to extract the wine brand, varietal, region and vintage. This information is submitted to a RAG-enhanced assistant that is trained on providing pairing recommendations or similar wine substitutions. With the extracted detail of the wine label a third party API is called to provide purchasing links with direct-to-cart integration or local shop availability.

AI Data / Tools In Use:

Scans and extracts critical details from wine labels

RAG-enhanced assistants for specific wine functions (recommendation, pairing, substitution)

Local and digital wine purchasing accessibility
