According to Anthropic (@AnthropicAI), in partnership with Andon Labs, they have implemented an AI system that autonomously manages all aspects of a vending machine business, including dynamic pricing, inventory ordering, and real-time customer support (source: AnthropicAI, June 27, 2025). This AI-powered solution leverages machine learning to optimize inventory levels based on demand, automatically adjust prices to maximize revenue, and promptly address customer inquiries without human intervention. The pilot demonstrates significant potential for AI-driven automation in retail operations, highlighting opportunities for businesses to reduce operational costs, improve efficiency, and enhance customer experience through end-to-end intelligent automation (source: AnthropicAI, June 27, 2025).
