use the chat GPT app towards the top it has
there's an app store within the chat GPT app. Now
there's a Starbucks app. What does it do? The app
will let you describe what kind of drink you're in
the mood for, or you could say that what the
weather is or whatever else, and it will suggest an

(02:26):
option for you to order. Customers can customize their drinks,
choose their pickup location, start their order inside the chat
GPT app. But you ultimately finish checking out in the
Starbucks app or on the website. But yeah, AI will
now order your drink for whatever you're feeling, maybe wherever
you're going, what the weather is. But now a new
way to order Starbucks.
