Revolutionizing Pricing Transparency: The Guinndex Project
Have you ever overpaid for a pint? Matt Cortland did—€7.80 for a Guinness in Dublin! This prompted him to explore the average price across Ireland, only to discover that the Central Statistics Office had stopped tracking it.
Cortland, an AI startup founder, set out to solve this with Rachel, a voice-enabled AI agent developed using ElevenLabs. Here’s how he made it happen:
- 3,000+ Calls: Rachel contacted pubs across Ireland, asking about pint prices in a Northern Irish accent.
- Guinndex Creation: Leveraging data collected, Cortland created the “Guinndex,” a dynamic consumer price index for Guinness.
- Community Input: Bartenders and drinkers can contribute prices, promoting transparency.
Cortland aims to expand the Guinndex to track other products. Join the conversation and share your thoughts on how AI can influence our daily choices! Let’s talk innovation—comment below or connect!
