New AI Smart Vending Machine at The Works

November 26, 2025

đŸ„€ The New AI Smart Vending Machine is Here! đŸ„š


The Works – Gilbert just leveled up.
We’re officially home to the smartest, most convenient, and most fun vending machine in the East Valley—and yes, we’re talking about a vending machine. But not the kind you remember from high school cafeterias or break rooms. This one uses real AI technology to make grabbing a snack or drink as effortless as opening your fridge.

Meet the AI Smart Vending Machine: a completely different take on grab-and-go convenience. No more wrestling with dollar bills, no more guessing what buttons to press, no more paying separately for every single item. This machine knows exactly what you take, when you take it, and charges you automatically—instantly and accurately.

đŸšȘ Grab-and-go freedom

Imagine walking up, tapping your card or phone, opening the door, and taking literally anything you want in one single transaction. That’s it—no scanning barcodes, no pushing buttons, and no “Oops, did I press B7 or B8?”

Thanks to advanced computer vision, the machine immediately recognizes every item you pick up. It tallies your selection without you needing to do anything extra. Change your mind? Put it back—no penalty, no accidental charge. It only bills you for what you actually walk away with.

🧃 Fully stocked with crowd favorites

Whether you’re powering through a long client call, pulling an all-nighter to meet a deadline, or need something quick between meetings, the machine is stocked with everything you’d expect—and some things you didn’t.

– Ice-cold sodas (regular + diet)
– Protein drinks (because gains don’t take days off)
– Gum (freshen up after that third espresso)
– Doritos (Cool Ranch *and* Nacho Cheese, because we respect priorities)
– Pringles (once you pop, productivity increases?)
– Monster & Alani energy drinks (for those “how is it only 3pm?” moments)
