AI System Fully Controls Experimental Cafe in Stockholm
Startup Andon Labs has installed an AI agent called 'Mona' to manage a cafe in Stockholm, controlling almost all aspects of the business.
The AI system, built on Google’s Gemini model, oversees everything from employee hiring to inventory management, while baristas continue to prepare and serve drinks.
The company’s goal is to explore the extent of automation in real-world businesses through AI, including the ability of AI to manage humans and processes.
The cafe has generated around $5,700 in revenue in under a month, with an initial investment of $21,000.
