DaoTender 🤖

Background

We started with https://www.quicknode.com/guides/ai/how-to-setup-an-ai-agent-with-eliza-ai16z-framework to build a bartender for Commons Hub Brussels that makes the experience at the fridge a memorable event.

Ideas was to have a chat bot that has knownledge about the drinks in the fridge, type and price and inventory, that can suggest alternative beer and has budget to give free drinks
