We officially launched BarBot!
Hi everyone! I'm excited to officially launch my new cocktail app today! You can download it for free at https://barbot.app (iOS and Android).
The core feature of the app is to suggest cocktails based on what ingredients you have available. I made BarBot because the existing apps didn't have enough cocktails in their database and also didn't have a good way of matching ingredients.
I scraped a ton of cocktail books to compile over 3,000 recipes, and also made a smart ingredient matching system (so if you have "Tequila Blanco" in your bar already, cocktails with "Tequila" will show up as well).
I also added an AI assistant feature to suggest specific cocktails. For example, you can ask it for springtime cocktails, gin-based cocktails for a birthday party, etc. and it will go through the database of recipes and pick out ones that fit your query.
Finally, I built the ability to rate and favorite recipes, create your own recipes, and log cocktail entries for a cool map/grid view of all of the cocktails you've had (plus some fun awards).
Super appreciate all of the support so far! I decided to make a completely free version with a premium version at $9.99/yr. As a thank you to the community, if you email team@barbot.app with the email you used to sign up, I'll gift you a free premium subscription!
I'm still working through feature requests so if you have anything you want to see in the app, let me know :)
This is such a fun and innovative use of AI! Love seeing creativity + utility come together like this. I’m building in the AI space too and appreciate seeing how others are blending automation with user experience. Congrats on the launch!
Thank you! Best of luck to you too!
For the marketing side you could get some inspirations from Nio Cocktails UK. I had an interview with them years ago, I believe you could get some good ideas…
Thanks for the suggestion! We will take a look! If you have a link to the interview it would be greatly appreciated!
I had an interview for the role of Growth director… you can follow them on Instagram and look at their website
I'll take a look thanks again!
This is so well executed — love how BarBot actually solves the ingredient-matching headache most apps totally miss. The mapping/logging feature is a nice bonus too 🍸
If you ever want to spin off niche versions (like mocktails, seasonal menus, or region-specific cocktail apps), I run MySelpost — it’s an AI-powered platform that turns quick sketches into real, functional apps for free. Faster than hiring devs and perfect for launching side features or companion tools without slowing down your main app.
Congrats on the launch — this one’s going in my drinks folder for sure!
Thank you! That is great to hear! We will definitely remember MySelpost for the future!
This is such a premium idea — smartly built and clearly well-researched. I love how you tackled the shortcomings of existing apps, especially the smart ingredient matching and AI cocktail suggestions. I’ll definitely help spread the word to my network and encourage people to try the free version. Congrats on the launch!
Thank you so much!
Congrats on launching BarBot! I love the name. If you’re looking to give it a sleek, memorable logo to match the product’s vibe, I’d love to help!
Thanks so much! We'll definitely keep you in mind!
