Frequently Asked Questions

What is OrderByVoice?

OrderByVoice is the future of shopping. A voice-driven experience powered by AI and store data built specifically for their customers and how they talk.

Most websites aren't built for natural language. They list products the way businesses name them — not the way customers ask for them. OBV bridges that gap.

A bar in Lincoln has a drink listed on their menu as Blood Orange Beer. Customers call it BOB. OBV knows that.

No app download required.

What does "store data built specifically for their customers" mean?

When a business engages OrderByVoice, we work with them to optimize their data for AI.

That means making sure local nicknames and everyday language are included — so when a customer asks for BOB, OBV knows they mean the Blood Orange Beer on the menu not the dude at the end of the bar.

For stores it means product location is part of the data — so when a customer asks "where is the salt?" OBV doesn't just find the product, it tells them exactly where to find it in the store.

Most business data is built for internal use — the way employees think about products, not the way customers ask for them. OrderByVoice bridges that gap.

What stores currently use OBV?

OrderByVoice is currently in development in Lincoln, Nebraska — and looking for a visionary, an early adopter.

OBV can serve many verticals — grocery stores, restaurants, bars, car dealerships and more.

We believe grocery is the right place to start. High traffic, straightforward deployment, and a problem every shopper has experienced — not being able to find what they need.

If you have a business and you're that visionary — contact us.

How does a store partner with OrderByVoice?

Partnering with OBV starts with a conversation.

We work with each business individually to understand their needs, optimize their data for AI, and configure OBV for their specific environment — whether that's a grocery store, restaurant, bar, or car dealership.

There are no upfront costs to explore the possibilities. If you think your business could benefit from a voice-driven shopping experience, we'd love to talk.

What verticals does OBV serve?

Any business where customers need to find something.

OBV is currently focused on grocery stores — high traffic, complex inventory, and a problem every shopper has experienced. But the platform is built to serve any vertical where customers need to find products, place orders, or get answers.

Grocery stores —
Find where products are by asking OBV. You will miss walking all over the store. 😉

Build shareable lists. You will miss coming home to find you forgot to buy half of what you intended — but be ready for your better half to add to the list while you're on the way to the store. 😄

Tell OBV what event you are planning and OBV will tell you what to get and where to find it. What are you going to do with all that free time?
Restaurants and bars —
Place orders by voice. You are going to miss waiting in line. 😄
Car dealerships —
Ask for what you want and OrderByVoice will tell you where it is. You are going to miss looking at all those cars you never intended to buy. 😄
Event planning —
"My daughter is getting married. What do I need?" OrderByVoice will tell you what you need and where to find it. You can spend more time with your daughter while she is still your little girl.

If a business uses OrderByVoice, OBV can answer the questions their customers have.

What else can OBV do?

Quite a bit — and we're just getting started.

What customers want but can't find — every time a customer asks OBV for something the store doesn't carry or can't find, OBV captures that. That gap between what customers want and what businesses provide is genuinely valuable intelligence. Businesses that partner with OBV get access to what their customers are searching for but not finding — so they can act on it before their competitors do.

Multiple languages — OBV is built from the ground up to be multilingual. English today, more languages coming.

Persistent lists — OBV remembers. Walk into the store and load last week's list instantly.

Recipe integration — share a recipe link or photo and OBV builds your shopping list from store inventory automatically.

The most important thing OrderByVoice does is help the businesses that care about you serve you in a way that no other business can.
