MidReal Story

A black countertop gleaming under the fluorescent lights of the café. A small line of people waiting for their morning coffee, their feet shuffling against the sleek, white floor. The hum of technology echoing all around. Mia Thompson took it all in, her blue eyes wide with wonder. “It’s so cool that this place is entirely managed by AI.” Mia gestured around the café, a symbol of their social life. “From ordering to cleaning to payment, it’s all done by technology.” Alex Chen raised an eyebrow at Mia, his lips curling in amusement. “You’re acting like you’ve never been here before.” The tall man shook his head, his wavy black hair brushing against his glasses. “I know.” Mia ran a hand through her short blonde hair and smiled sheepishly. “I’ve just been busy with work lately, I guess.” She glanced at the menu behind the counter. “So what are you getting?” “A cappuccino.” Alex grinned at her. “Or are you going to tell me that you’ve never heard me order a cappuccino before?” Mia giggled and playfully nudged him with her elbow. “Okay, smartass, what about me?” Alex’s eyes widened with surprise when he looked at the screen of his phone. The man was an early riser. He was up before the sun had even peaked over the horizon. “Who are you, and what have you done with Mia?” “I wanted to get here before work so we could catch up,” she explained with a shrug. A red light flashed on the screen above the counter, indicating that it was their turn in line. “Looks like it’s our turn.” Mia made her way to the counter and beamed at the barista behind it. “Hi!” The AI barista didn’t return her smile or acknowledge her greeting. Instead, it stayed silent as it stared down at her phone screen, scanning it with its camera for the order they’d placed. After a moment, it beeped cheerfully and said, “Cappuccino for Alex and a mocha for Mia.” “That’s right,” Mia said with a smile. “Thanks so much.” She inserted her credit card into the machine and paid for their order. “Have a great day!” “Cappuccino for Alex and a mocha for Mia,” Alex called after her as they made their way to a nearby table and sat down across from each other. “Do you know how cool it is that it recognized our orders without us even needing to say anything?” Mia said, bouncing in her seat like a child on Christmas morning. “It’s like we’re regulars or something.” “Yeah, something like that,” Alex said with an eyeroll. “Luna designed this system herself, you know.” “That doesn’t surprise me,” Mia said, reaching for her phone and tapping against the screen. “You know how she is.” Alex chuckled under his breath as he watched her interact with her phone without even looking at it, using her instincts and muscle memory to navigate. “Yeah, I do,” he said, shaking his head in amusement. “She’s such a tech geek.” It wasn’t an insult, not when both Alex and Mia were tech geeks too. They worked at a tech company together, in fact, where they had met two years ago and hit it off right away. “Don’t you think it’s kind of scary though?”

Alex asked, his eyes flicking back to the AI barista behind the counter.“That thing is like a mind reader.”Mia shrugged, not really understanding what Alex was getting at.“It’s not scary, it’s just cool,” she said with a grin.“And it’s not like we don’t already have everything else at our fingertips either.” She paused.“Speaking of which, do you want to get any pastries?”Alex nodded, his eyes lighting up.“Yeah, I’m starving.”Mia reached for her phone, her fingers flying across the screen as she navigated through the system.“So what do you want?”Alex read off the pastries that were available, and Mia made a selection before she added a small coffee cake to their order.Ordering from the system was so much faster than going up to the counter and waiting in line.It was one of the reasons Mia loved coming here so much.“Luna is a genius,” Mia said as she set her phone back on the table.“She’s done such a great job with this place, don’t you think?”Alex nodded in agreement before he took a sip of his coffee.He paused, his eyes widening in surprise.Mia raised an eyebrow at him.“Is it too hot?”“No,” he said, shaking his head before he took another sip.“It’s just really good.”The AI system that Luna had created allowed customers to design their own drinks, which were added to a database that anyone could access.Then, when they came to the café, they could place an order and have it made exactly to their specifications.It was a feature that most people loved about Luna’s place, and it was what made it stand out from traditional coffee shops.“What did I tell you?”Mia said with a smug smile.“It’s like she reads our minds.” She took a sip of her mocha and sighed contently.It was exactly how she liked it.“How do you think she does it?”“I don’t know,” Alex admitted with a shrug.“My guess is that when people come in and make their own drinks that they later add to the database, Luna records the ingredients and ratios they use so she can replicate them later on.”“You’re probably right,” Alex said with a nod.“It’s so cool.”“I know,” Mia said with a small smile as she looked around at the café.“This place has everything we could ever want in a coffee shop.”Alex chuckled under his breath at her words.
