SimSense for cafés · window shopping

Close the loop.

A customer picks up your retail coffee beans, turns the bag over, puts it back. SimSense sees it, understands it — and now its agents do something about it, while the customer is still in the room.

Watch it happen ↓

01 · The almost-sale

Watch the window shopping.

All day, people pick up the retail beans, look at the price, and put them back. No human catches the pattern between orders. The camera on the shelf does — every pick-up, every put-back.

  • bought1
  • average look14 seconds

02 · The signal

Twelve pick-ups. One sale.

SimSense clusters the almost-sales into a signal: same product, same hesitation, same walk-away. By late morning it isn't an anecdote anymore — it's a price-point problem with a timestamp.

03 · The agent acts

It doesn't just report it.

New in SimSense: agents that finish the job. This one watched the beans all morning, formed a theory, and pinged you — with the fix already drafted.

simsense agent · 11:42 AM

12 people so far picked up the coffee beans and put them back on the shelf. Same spot, same hesitation — this looks like a price point. Maybe try 5% off, just for today? Want me to put together a sign and send it to you?

Yes — make the sign Not now

04 · Loop closed

A sign, up by lunchtime.

You said yes. The agent generated the sign, sent it over, and kept watching the shelf. Same beans, same foot traffic — different afternoon.

Build your own dashboard

Watch engagement as it happens and change the board from the same place. It is a Sim, so you shape it by asking — no dashboard software to buy or learn.

Bring your own hardware

Connect an old phone to SimSense and it becomes a sensor: a camera, a screen and a network connection you already own. Nothing else to buy.

See it running in a real cafe

SimSense is live at Birch Coffee in New York. Go and watch a board keep itself current over the counter.

Build your first Window shopping tracker in seconds.

Install the camera. Watch it happen. Let an agent take action.

Hardware

Runs on what you can buy today.

Watching the shelf needs a camera. It does not have to be special.

The camera

Arduino Uno Q + camera

The tinkerer's route — a board, a camera module, and full control over what runs at the edge.

The camera

AI cameras

Cameras with the compute already inside. Power one, point it at the board, and it starts reporting.

The shortcut

An old phone

Seriously. A phone on a stand is a camera and a screen at once. Get started in five minutes with hardware already in your drawer.

Try now →

A board that runs Linux and Arduino at once, plus a camera to point at the board.
