Static answer desk / live Ask is gated
Live generated answers are not enabled yet. This page still gives you the useful version: ask-shaped routes into products, guides, and NonAlcNews, plus example answer cards that show the citation standard before any model goes public.

Curated examples
These are deterministic examples from existing public routes. They show the answer shape, not a hidden chatbot result.
Example answer, not generated
static_example_not_generated
Start with a bitter, botanical, or spritzable aperitif shape that earns the glass. The right first move is not a fake liquor claim; it is an adult serve with a clear occasion, a public source, and a reason it works on a menu.
Example answer, not generated
static_example_not_generated
Lead with what the drink does: functional, bitter, botanical, calming, social, culinary. That keeps the conversation in hospitality instead of restriction and gives the guest a better reason to order another round differently.
Example answer, not generated
static_example_not_generated
Use the news surface as signal, not gospel. Read the original source, check the category and confidence labels when present, then decide whether the item changes what to stock, serve, explain, or watch.
Live Ask approval path
This keeps the public surface useful today while making the remaining owner decisions explicit: evidence quality, Joshua voice, and provider/storage policy.
not yet approved
Sample answers need source-visible checks for products, guides, and news before the public button turns on.
taste gate
Operator language, functional claims, and confidence levels need Joshua's approval before model copy speaks for the brand.
closed gate
Model provider, retrieval storage, cost lane, and logging policy stay undecided until Joshua explicitly approves them.
