Created a carafe for whiskey, pouring a drink at the command

Specialists of the American company Jim Beam created a smart decanter, self-dispensing alcoholic beverages.

Initially, the decanter was created for whiskey, but, in principle, it can be used with any other alcohol. The device is equipped with several speech phrases, spoken by the voice of the chief winemaker Jim Beam Fred Noah, thanks to which a mini-dialogue is established between the device and its owner.

The price of a carafe is quite affordable - about 35 dollars (about 2,000 rubles). It is expected that the new product will be in great demand, because for a small price you can buy such an original and unusual gift for your friends and relatives.

The only obvious difficulty in using this device is that the 3G service, which is used for speech recognition, is valid only for six months.

After this period, an unusual device turns to a regular carafe. Why the developers have chosen such a path, and whether it is connected with the desire to make money on those who have already purchased the device, is still unknown.

The first deliveries of unusual units will begin on December 15. By the way, pre-order for them is no longer possible. In case of a successful start of sales, the developers are planning to expand the functionality of the smart device over time, diversifying his speech and giving him the ability to keep the conversation going. This will be especially useful in cases where, for one reason or another, a person has chosen to drink alone.
