Inspiration
Small businesses are the backbone of local economies — but most can't afford a full-time receptionist, a marketing team, or a customer service department. At the same time, consumers are overwhelmed: too many apps, too many loyalty programs, and no single place to discover local deals.
We started MyMemberStores after watching a golf simulator business struggle to manage bookings, take orders, and respond to customers — all while the owner was also sweeping the floor. The question wasn't "can AI help?" — it was "why hasn't anyone built this yet for small businesses?"## What it does
How we built it
Backend: Cloudflare Workers (edge-deployed, zero cold start, global) Voice AI: Vapi telephony platform with Google Cloud Speech-to-Text (Chinese zh-CN, latest_long model) for multilingual voice ordering AI Engine: OpenAI GPT-4o for chat, reasoning, and order processing; ElevenLabs for real-time conversational voice (ConvAI WebSocket) STT/TTS: Google STT (Chinese), Deepgram (English/Spanish), ElevenLabs multilingual TTS Mobile Apps: React Native + Expo (iOS TestFlight), EAS Build pipeline Payments: Stripe + PayPal (Apple Pay, credit card, PayPal guest checkout) SMS: SendBlue for order invoices and session alerts Storage: Cloudflare KV (real-time session state, orders, bookings) Infrastructure: Cloudflare Pages (frontend), custom domains on every product Everything was built and shipped to a real paying customer within 90 days.## Challenges we ran into
Accomplishments that we're proud of
A customer walked into GolfersBZ, heard about the AI ordering system, called the number, ordered in Mandarin, received a payment link by SMS, paid by phone, and had their food delivered — without any human involvement Full voice booking + payment + check-in for golf simulator bays, end-to-e I hired 4 employees last year, Now no staff is needed . I have made GolfersBZ fully self-service with 24/7 opening. I am setting up my franchise system .
Challenges we ran into
Multilingual voice ordering was the hardest problem. Getting an AI to correctly hear "一号桌要一个牛排" ("Table 1 wants a steak") over a noisy restaurant phone required switching STT providers three times before landing on Google Cloud STT with the latest_long model for Chinese.
Audio session management on iOS — Apple's audio APIs changed significantly in Expo SDK 55. What worked on SDK 52 (expo-av) completely broke. We had to rewrite the entire recording pipeline using expo-audio and discovered that expo-file-system v55 silently dropped the EncodingType export, causing crashes in production.
Real-time simulator session management — keeping 8 concurrent golf simulator bays in sync, with automatic SMS reminders, grace periods, and screen lock/unlock — on a serverless edge runtime with no persistent memory.
what it does
AI Business turns any small business into an AI-powered operation in minutes:

AI Customer Service — a 24/7 voice agent handles reservations, FAQs, and complaints on a real phone number AI Sales & Marketing — automated outbound calls and SMS campaigns Merchant Live Dashboard — real-time orders, payments, and alerts on a single screen Simulator Booking — full golf simulator scheduling, check-in, and session management with automatic SMS reminders AI Life gives consumers a single AI-powered hub:

What we learned
Ai can help people with business experience quickly improve their skills and start up a new business at low coast and low risk. Test engineer is the most important position in Ai project .
What's next for ai life, Ai business
I hope the AI-Life to be the gateway of consumer decision-making, and Ai-Business to help the small business to generate more local traffic and save running-cost. I
