Somelye - AI wine recommender

The idea

Selling wine from a catalogue assumes the customer knows what they want. Most don't. They know what they liked last time. The recommender starts there.

How it works

There is a tasting-profile quiz that places the customer, and an engine that mixes two things: the semantic side, to understand plain-language descriptions, and the structural side, which is the wine's own attributes. Search runs against Qdrant and the conversation is built with the Vercel AI SDK.

Where it lives

Integrated with the Shopify storefront, so a recommendation ends on a product the customer can buy without leaving the shop.
