I’m happy to share this to anyone that like me always dreamed to talk to their coffee machine (ok, maybe it’s not that common)
The idea is simple: you upload a manual, a menu, a set of instructions or SOP, you automatically get a shareable chat interface with the document context and a personality attached to it, plus a shareable and printable QR code pointing to it.
Why I built this:
I think this enables many use cases where it’s not easy for a commercial chatbot (like ChatGPT) to retrieve the information you need, and in local contexts where information changes frequently and is used only once by people passing by.
Some use cases:
– QR codes attached directly on your coffee machine, dishwasher, washing machine, to enable per-model queries and troubleshooting (how can I descale you, Nespresso?)
– Restaurant menus in international contexts, where you need to block a waiter to ask what that foreign dish actually is
– Cruises, hotels, hospitality centres where activities and rules are centralised but cumbersome to access (until what time is breakfast open on deck 5?)
– Museums (what expositions are available only this week?)
– University books (Explain better page 56)
So far the problem was solved with custom apps that nobody wants to install. Now you just need a throwaway url and a QR code.
