Details the work done by team Daimyo for the IBM TechXchange Pre-Conference WatsonX Hackathon under the path "Build a generative AI application for a use case supporting productivity with IBM watsonx.ai, featuring IBM Granite." The project has been built majorly in Python using Langchain and the IBM WatsonX Granite models.
Welcome to Daimyo, a comprehensive SaaS platform powered by WatsonX AI's Granite models, designed to help restaurants save time and optimize their operations. Built with accessibility and scalability in mind, Daimyo is already making a significant impact, streamlining restaurant operations and enhancing efficiency even in its current proof-of-concept stage.
This project was developed as part of the WatsonX Hackathon, and we believe Daimyo has the potential to redefine business intelligence for small to medium-scale restaurants.
We built Daimyo with one clear goal: to empower restaurants to make data-driven decisions quickly and efficiently, no matter their scale. Whether it’s automating reports, generating actionable insights, or leveraging cutting-edge AI to respond to customer feedback, Daimyo does it all.
Daimyo connects seamlessly to the wealth of data available to restaurants—from customer reviews to point-of-sale data and reservations—enabling them to interact with their data in powerful ways. For this hackathon, we’ve built four comprehensive modules to demonstrate the platform’s capabilities.
- Never miss important feedback: Daimyo can be customized to send real-time alerts for poor or exceptionally good reviews.
- Granite-powered suggested replies: Respond to reviews quickly and appropriately with AI-generated suggestions.
- Future Potential: Expand alerts to cover special customer events like birthdays or low inventory warnings.
⏳ Save hours by automating feedback responses and important alerts.
- Set-and-forget reporting: Choose a modifiable template, set the frequency (daily, weekly, monthly), and Daimyo will generate and send reports automatically.
- Granite-powered sentiment analysis: Identify positive or negative trends in your data to stay ahead of potential issues.
- Flexible report types: Customize reports on sales, reservations, or inventory based on your needs.
📊 Gain valuable insights with fully automated, customizable reports.
- Natural language queries: Ask questions like “What are my best sellers?” and get answers in seconds, all without needing SQL expertise.
- Granite-powered processing: Provides actionable insights and generates shareable tables.
💡 Fast insights at your fingertips, perfect for business owners on the go.
- Retrieval Augmented Generation: Query non-SQL data such as customer reviews. Ask questions like “How is the ambience?” and get feedback with referenced reviews.
- Future-Proof Dashboard Integration: Imagine a world where Daimyo is integrated directly into your POS system, turning raw data into powerful interactive visuals.
📈 Interactive analytics that go beyond standard reports, giving you a complete understanding of your restaurant's performance.
