Fitz, the WhiskeyMate AppTender (Generative AI Chat)
Managing trial limits, premium gating, and AI chat with Fitz
Overview
Fitz is WhiskeyMate’s AI AppTender (bartender). Fitz can help with whiskey questions, tasting flights, pairings, cocktail ideas, and (when supported) can use app context like your collection, shared collections, knowledge articles, and “near me” requests.
Where you can use Fitz
- iOS: In-app chat screen ("Chat").
- Android: In-app chat screen ("Chat with Fitz").
- Web: Premium-only via /fitz.html or the floating Fitz bubble on logged-in web pages.
- Apple TV (tvOS): Available inside the paired Apple TV experience (tvOS uses a Firebase callable to get Fitz responses).
Premium vs trial limits
- Web: Fitz requires Premium and you must be logged in.
- Android: If you are not Premium, Fitz enforces a 14-day trial (based on your account’s created date) and a 3 chats/day limit. The daily count resets on a new day.
- iOS: Fitz access is tied to your entitlement state (Premium/trial). The chat UI also contains a local trial limiter (14 days from first chat start + 3/day) that applies when Premium/trial access is not active.
Common controls
- New Chat: iOS and Android both include a New Chat control to start over.
- Send / Stop (iOS): On iOS, while Fitz is responding, the send button becomes a stop button so you can cancel an in-progress reply.
Using Fitz on the web (Premium)
- Full page: open
/fitz.htmland click Open Fitz Chat. - Floating bubble: when you’re logged in on the web app, a Fitz bubble is added to pages; clicking it opens a chat modal.
- Context: the web chat can send a small “page context” snapshot (page title, active nav label, selected IDs, and a visible-text snippet) to help Fitz answer questions about what you’re currently viewing.
Privacy note for “near me” requests
Fitz can support location-based questions (like finding nearby places), but responses are designed to avoid displaying exact coordinates. Expect wording like “near you” rather than latitude/longitude.
