A 37-year-old used voice AI and Anthropic's Claude to conduct a large-scale price survey of Guinness across Ireland

The initiative involved calling approximately 3,000 Irish bartenders to gather real-time pricing data for a pint of Guinness

The price index created from the AI-driven survey has prompted pubs to lower their Guinness prices to remain competitive
