Starbucks to roll out Microsoft Azure OpenAI assistant for baristas
Starbucks plans to roll out a generative AI assistant created with Microsoft Azure's OpenAI platform to 35 locations this month as part of its strategy to simplify baristas' jobs and speed up service in its cafes. The coffee chain showed off the new technology to more than 14,000 North American store managers at its Leadership Experience in Las Vegas on Tuesday. A broad launch of the "Green Dot Assist" platform across the U.S. and Canada is slated for the company's fiscal 2026, which starts in the fall. The three-day event comes as Starbucks pushes to revive its sluggish U.S. sales and "get back to Starbucks," as CEO Brian Niccol has described the effort since he took the role last year. Niccol's priorities include slashing service times to four minutes per order. Quick, accurate answers to barista questions could help achieve that goal. "It's just another example of how innovation technology is coming into service of our partners and making sure that we're doing all we can to simplify the operations, make their jobs just a little bit easier, maybe a little bit more fun, so that they can do what they do best," Starbucks Chief Technology Officer Deb Hall Lefevre told CNBC. Instead of flipping through manuals or accessing Starbucks' intranet, baristas will be able to use a tablet behind the counter equipped with Green Dot Assist to get answers to a range of questions, from how to make an iced shaken espresso to troubleshooting equipment errors. Baristas can either type or verbally ask their queries in conversational language. As the AI assistant evolves, Starbucks has even bigger plans for its next generation. Those ideas include automatically creating a ticket with IT for equipment issues or generating suggestions for a substitute when a barista calls out of work, according to Lefevre. Since OpenAI launched ChatGPT in late 2022, companies have been trying the implement generative artificial intelligence in their own operations, envisioning the AI hype can cut expenses and maybe even boost their stock prices. Walmart and JPMorgan Chase are among the corporate giants that have rolled out AI assistants for their workforce. But chatbots aren't always a perfect solution. They can sometimes provide inaccurate answers, known as "hallucinations," which could mean another headache instead of an easy resolution. Lefevre said that the company's partnership with Microsoft includes a grounding engine that ensures the accuracy of the information provided. Other restaurant companies have also been looking to AI to simplify their restaurant workers' jobs and improve operations. For example, Yum Brands has partnered with Nvidia to roll out AI order-taking, Nvidia-powered computer vision and restaurant performance assessments fueled by AI. But AI agreements haven't always been successful; McDonald's ended its partnership with IBM after its test of AI drive-thru order taking didn't meet expectations. Other new technology on display at the Leadership Experience includes the latest generation of Starbucks' Mastrena espresso machines and a more intuitive point-of-sale system. Lefevre said tenured baristas have been learning to use the new POS in as little as an hour. Plus, the technology can offer personalized recommendations and loyal customers' repeat orders, helping Starbucks achieve the personalized touch it's looking to bring back to its cafes.

OpenAI will reportedly start using Google's cloud servers
OpenAI has inked a deal with Google to begin using the latter's cloud service to meet its growing needs for increased computing capacity, according to a report by Reuters . This is something of a surprise, given that Google and OpenAI are rivals in the AI space. The terms of the deal remain unknown, but reporting indicates it has been in the negotiation phase for the past several months. This marks OpenAI's latest move to diversify its compute sources away from Microsoft Azure. Microsoft had been OpenAI's exclusive data center provider until January , after OpenAI CEO Sam Altman blamed the lack of compute capacity for the delay of several products. The company made a deal in March with CoreWeave to provide increased cloud compute capacity . That deal was worth nearly $12 billion. Microsoft Azure may no longer be the exclusive cloud provider for OpenAI, but it's not as if the two companies have parted ways. OpenAI still relies heavily on Azure and the corporations are currently in negotiations to revise the terms of their partnership, which will likely revise the equity stake Microsoft holds in OpenAI . However, this is certainly a win for Google Cloud. ChatGPT poses the biggest threat to Google's search business in years , and this deal could indicate a softening between the two companies. In any event, it'll certainly bring a whole lot of money into Google Cloud's coffers. The platform made $43 billion last year and accounted for 12 percent of parent company Alphabet's overall revenue. The addition of OpenAI to its customer portfolio will likely extend those numbers dramatically. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. $GOOG CEO ADMITS GOOGLE CLOUD IS RUNNING INTO REAL CONSTRAINTS Not just from permitting delays, but from infrastructure bottlenecks. And when AI buildouts stall, there's usually one common denominator: not enough $NVDA-powered systems 👀 — Shay Boloor (@StockSavvyShay) May 20, 2025 There is an elephant in the room. Google has famously struggled to meet customer demand for its cloud services, and this was before bringing on OpenAI. Simply put, it needs more data centers . Will OpenAI get priority access over pre-existing customers? Engadget has reached out to Google and will update this story if we hear back. To that end, OpenAI is certainly thriving. The company recently announced that the current adoption rate of its software will lead to $10 billion in annual revenue as of June. It told investors that it has a target revenue goal of around $12 billion for the year, which it should easily meet with new subscribers.

Microsoft Ecosystem Boosts Mexican Cloud, AI Initiatives
MEXICO CITY--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Microsoft and its ecosystem partners play a central role in the rapid adoption of cloud and AI solutions by enterprises in Mexico, according to a new research report published today by Information Services Group (ISG) (Nasdaq: III), a global AI-centered technology research and advisory firm. Cloud computing has become a major catalyst for change in Mexican enterprises. Advanced AI technologies from Microsoft Azure and its ecosystem partners are helping companies optimize operations and accelerate innovation. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens ™ Microsoft AI and Cloud Ecosystem report for Mexico finds that enterprises are quickly migrating to cloud computing, with service providers estimating that adoption of cloud solutions is rising more than 25 percent per year and likely to keep up that pace in 2026. Use of the cloud has spread to business functions such as human resources and administration, accelerating enterprise digitalization, the report says. 'Cloud computing has become a major catalyst for change in Mexican enterprises,' said Bill Huber, partner, digital platforms and solutions, for ISG. 'Advanced AI technologies from Microsoft Azure and its ecosystem partners are helping companies optimize operations and accelerate innovation.' About half of the enterprises in Mexico are making extensive use of cloud computing, ISG says. The country's more traditional industries, such as finance, healthcare and manufacturing, are becoming more confident about moving to the cloud. Providers are establishing regional data centers that offer Mexican organizations security, resilience and faster response times. Though companies initially adopted cloud infrastructure for scalability and availability, they are now seeking cloud-based applications to directly improve productivity and business outcomes. Cloud-based AI tools such as ChatGPT, along with growing use of advanced mobile devices, have triggered strong public interest in AI in Mexico, the report says. As consumers adopt AI, companies are under pressure to modernize and digitize operations and offer more attractive customer experiences. Microsoft's sharp focus on AI, with Copilot and other solutions, has helped it penetrate the market for AI-based solutions. The company is also making significant investments in Mexico to improve connectivity and encourage AI adoption, especially by small and midsize enterprises. As Mexican organizations move to the cloud, demand for the Microsoft 365 productivity suite has grown. Small and medium-sized companies are adopting the suite for its scalability, and education, healthcare, finance and manufacturing organizations are embracing it. The rise of hybrid work and remote collaboration triggered by the pandemic has boosted Microsoft 365's popularity. Demand is also rising for Power Platform, Microsoft's solution for low-code/no-code development, which companies are using to automate processes without the need for advanced programming skills. 'Mexico has become a dynamic market for Power Platform as companies embrace business automation,' said Jan Erik Aase, partner and global leader, ISG Provider Lens Research. 'There is strong competition among providers to offer Power Platform solutions that meet local needs.' The report also examines other Microsoft ecosystem trends in Mexico, including the rise of hybrid multi-cloud environments and growing demand for Azure managed services. For more insights into Microsoft-related challenges faced by enterprises in Mexico, along with ISG's advice for how to overcome those challenges, see the ISG Provider Lens ™ Focal Points briefing here. The 2025 ISG Provider Lens ™ Microsoft AI and Cloud Ecosystem report for Mexico evaluates the capabilities of 33 providers across four quadrants: Managed Services for Azure, Microsoft 365 Services, Power Platform Services and AI Services for the Microsoft Clouds. The report names Accenture and DXC Technology as Leaders in all four quadrants. It names Capgemini, Kyndryl and SoftwareOne as Leaders in three quadrants each. IBM, Logicalis, Softtek and TCS are named as Leaders in two quadrants each. AlfaPeople, bSide, Infosys and Unisys are named as Leaders in one quadrant each. In addition, NTT DATA is named as a Rising Star — a company with a 'promising portfolio' and 'high future potential' by ISG's definition — in two quadrants. KIO, Migesa, Nubiral and Softtek are named as Rising Stars in one quadrant each. In the area of customer experience, HCLTech is named the global ISG CX Star Performer for 2024 among Microsoft ecosystem providers. HCLTech earned the highest customer satisfaction scores in ISG's Voice of the Customer survey, which is part of the ISG Star of Excellence ™ program, the premier quality recognition for the technology and business services industry.
