- One liner: Sipply AI-based recommendation engine to match drink pairings to food.

The real-time data generated from user searches and clicks is then valuable to beverage suppliers and distributors who are usually making decisions with data compiled once a year. It’s designed as a standalone consumer app, a plug-in to platforms like DoorDash or Uber Eats, and generates real-time analytics about eating and drinking trends.

Designed to fit into busy leaders’ lives, our software is the first of its kind to embrace a blended approach of live, expert-facilitated learning with an intuitive and intelligent learning platform, making it both accessible and scalable for the masses. Monark provides a personalized experience that supports the transfer of learning through behavioural nudging, evidence-based micro-learning, interactive activities, and AI-based practice, role play, and assessment.
