Starbucks: AI Mood

Problem:
Starbucks ordering can feel overwhelming when you don’t know what you want. People rush, overthink, then default to the same drink.
Solution:
Barist-AI is a one-tap mood check-in that recommends a drink in seconds, then lets you pre-order instantly.

Research & Rationale
Originally explored at agency We Are Social, then developed independently. Built around Starbucks’ personalisation, the concept matches your mood to a drink recommendation in seconds. I created the UX and visual system to show how it scales across a full campaign.

AI-Generated Material System
An iridescent liquid finish visualises how AI adapts recommendations in real time.
