With Sweed, AI isn’t a buzzword, it’s built natively into our platform, and is at the core of what we do. Thanks to our unified data layer, Sweed draws from POS, eCommerce, loyalty, inventory, marketing and more to surface actionable insights dispensary teams can use to make smarter decisions about their customers and business.

While other platforms are still promising future tools, Sweed delivers them today. Here are five ways Sweed-powered dispensaries are already putting AI to work: 

1. AI-Powered Product Recommendations 

Customers want their preferences recognized. Sweed provides product recommendations at the register based on purchase history, demographics, and browsing behavior, so even new budtenders can recommend like pros. When individual data is light, Sweed predicts likely purchases using “similar customer” signals. Result: smarter upsells, bigger baskets, happier customers. 

2. AI-Driven Dynamic Segmentation

Fragmented stacks force teams to dig through data and settle for generic blasts. With Sweed AI, marketing and operational data live together. Type a natural language request (“Show me all customers who haven’t shopped in the last week”) and the segment is built automatically. That means sharper targeting and higher-impact messages without burning staff hours. 

3. AI Carousels in eCommerce 

One-size-fits-all menus offer a lot to be desired for customers, and leave dispensaries stuck in the past. AI carousels personalize discovery in real time: flower fans see how flower deals; edible lovers see gummies in the same slot. Shoppers find what they want faster, and retailers see higher conversions, larger baskets, and more repeat orders. 

4. Budtender Support & Assisted Selling

Dispensary turnover is real. Sweed AI gives teams on-screen guidance from day one. As carts are built, the system suggests complementary items (“customers who bought this also bought…”) and flags eligible deals. That coaching lifts average order value, improves the customers experience, and boosts budtender confidence – on day one or 100. 

5. AI in Marketing Automation & Content Personalization

Two customers can receive the same SMS or email and see different product grids inside. Sweed AI fills messages with items each person is most likely to buy, with personalization at scarlet hat feels human, not generic. 

Why It Works With Sweed

Sweed’s all-in-one platform pulls data from every part of the business gto generate intelligent suggestions and insights automatically.
