Abstract

Mechanisms are provided for performing an artificial intelligence (AI) based drive-through transaction. A digital image capturing device, in response to a vehicle entering a drive-through, captures a digital image of the vehicle. A computer vision operation is executed on the digital image to analyze data patterns and identify an identity of individual(s) within the vehicle. User profile(s) are retrieved that correspond to the individual(s) within the vehicle. A customized menu of products and/or services is generated based on user profile information and one or more menu items are pre-selected from the customized menu based on contextual information derived from at least one of audio or digital image data received during the drive-through transaction. A menu presentation computing device, located in the drive-through, is controlled to present the pre-selected menu item(s) and the customized menu.
