Overview
Sweetie is an AI-powered ordering experience for Sweetgreen that turns a single word — a craving, a mood, or a need — into a strong starting bowl, so customers never have to build one from scratch.
*Student project, not affiliated with Sweetgreen.
Problem
Too much customization can turn choice into decision overload.
Today’s ordering flow asks customers to build every bowl ingredient by ingredient.
Who is this for?
Customers who know what they want, but not exactly what to order — people in a hurry, new to the menu, working toward a dietary goal, or looking for a personalized bowl without building it from scratch.
Top task: Get a personalized bowl recommendation from a single keyword.
Sub tasks: Review the recommended bowl, Understand why the bowl was recommended, Check ingredients and nutrition, Explore ingredient sourcing, Customize the recommendation if needed

Experience
An information architecture built around one keyword, with the LLM stepping in at the moments that need judgement.
Keyword → Recommendation → Customize → Order → Understand
Micro-interactions
Small, soft motions that show the AI is working and confirm every choice.
Design system
Fresh: Starts from what the user wants right now — their mood, craving, goal, or preference.
Curated: Thoughtfully selects and combines ingredients into a personalized recommendation.
Real: Builds trust by showing real nutrition, ingredients, and sourcing behind the recommendation.
