Starbucks is offering a ChatGPT mini-app where an AI suggests drinks based on how you feel or if you show them a selfie.



Starbucks, the world's largest coffee chain, announced on April 15, 2026, a mini-app within ChatGPT that uses AI to recommend drinks based on the user's mood. By describing their mood in text or uploading images of their current location and weather, the AI will suggest drinks.

ChatGPT users can access a Starbucks mini-app (beta version) running within ChatGPT by starting a prompt with '@Starbucks'. Below is a screenshot of the app provided by Starbucks, showing how, when you tell ChatGPT you 'feel like a drink with lots of protein and little sugar,' it suggests a sugar-free vanilla protein latte. Other example prompts include 'I want to start the day feeling cheerful' and 'I want a not-too-sweet drink to give me energy in the afternoon.'



In the image below, a user uploaded a selfie of their outfit and current location, and ChatGPT suggested drinks that matched the colors and atmosphere.



The suggested drink can be ordered directly within the app by selecting a Starbucks store, and the payment will be processed through the Starbucks app or website.



Starbucks stated, 'The beta version of the Starbucks app powered by ChatGPT is part of our ongoing efforts to make the Starbucks drink experience more personalized. We've enhanced the drink discovery feature by adding trending drink categories and secret menus, leveraging the power of customization that happens every day through social media and interactions with baristas. And now, we're using AI to create a more human experience—to help you find a drink you're sure to love.'

Paul Riedel, Starbucks' senior vice president of digital and loyalty, said, 'Customers don't always choose from the menu; they search the menu for something that appeals to their senses. The ChatGPT Starbucks Mini App is a technology that stimulates creativity and helps customers make new discoveries.'

Please note that ChatGPT Apps , which allows you to use various applications within ChatGPT, are primarily deployed in regions where various services are available in English.
