In Moscow, a coffee shop opens where orders are taken by a puppet and the business was dreamed up by AI
An unusual pop-up project has appeared in the capital — the 'Backstage' coffee-theater, where a regular order turns into a mini-performance. Guests are greeted by a puppet barista: it takes orders, jokes, and puts on a little show right while 'preparing' the drink.
In reality, real baristas make the coffee behind the scenes, and the puppet effectively brings out the finished order 🎬
The project's creator, blogger Alina Pepilina, admits: AI helped with most of the work. From idea and concept to documents and business model — neural networks became her main assistant. The result is a project that blends theater, coffee, and technology 😏
