Filmland Spirits got its start in 2022, approaching whiskey production like making a feature film to deliver entertaining experiences for consumers, and The Filmologist embraces the power of AI not only to entertain but also share brand knowledge and a good dose of sarcasm.
With a mix of vibe coding and different versions of Claude AI, Google's Gemini and ChatGPT, CEO Troy Bolotnick created The Filmologist to help people find local retailers, get product recommendations, discount codes and food pairing suggestions, or just chat about movies and sports. The Filmologist has over 150 different avatars that reflect elements of the conversations he has with each guest. "Instead of making a boring, utilitarian chatbot like everyone else, we decided to imbue ours with the rebellious spirit that guides almost everything we do," said Bolotnick. "Yeah, he's rude and gives as good as he gets, but we know our fans are a bit subversive themselves."
