Inspiration
Small businesses and sales teams often miss opportunities because valuable knowledge is scattered across websites, documents, and people's experience. Building an AI assistant is still too technical for most organizations. We wanted to make creating an AI-powered sales companion as easy as describing your business and clicking Deploy.
What it does
AI Sales Companion helps businesses create an AI sales assistant in minutes.
Users simply:
- Describe their business
- Upload product or store photos
- Provide their website URL
The platform automatically generates a knowledge base and FAQs, then deploys an AI assistant to LINE Official Account and an embeddable website chat widget. It continuously learns as business content evolves.
How we built it
- OpenAI GPT models for knowledge generation and conversational AI
- Vision models to understand uploaded images
- Embeddings for semantic knowledge retrieval
- Function Calling for tool orchestration
- Next.js frontend and backend
- MySQL for multi-tenant data
- Cloud Run for scalable deployment
- LINE Messaging API for customer conversations
- Website crawler for automatic knowledge extraction
Challenges we ran into
- Turning unstructured business information into accurate FAQs.
- Combining multiple knowledge sources (website, images, and user input) into one searchable AI knowledge base.
- Designing an onboarding experience that anyone can complete in just a few minutes.
- Keeping the system simple enough for an MVP while remaining scalable for future enterprise features.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
- Built a working end-to-end MVP in a short timeframe.
- Reduced AI assistant setup from hours to minutes.
- Enabled easy deployment to LINE and website chat.
- Created an intuitive onboarding flow that requires no AI expertise.
- Designed a scalable multi-tenant architecture ready for SaaS growth.
What we learned
The biggest barrier to AI adoption isn't the model—it's the complexity of setup. By automating knowledge generation and deployment, businesses can focus on serving customers instead of configuring technology. We also learned that a guided, AI-assisted onboarding experience dramatically improves usability.
What's next for AI Sales Companion
Our roadmap includes:
- Multi Agent Collaboration & Analytics
- AI-generated sales proposals and quotations
- CRM integration
- Human Handoff
- Multi-language support
- Additional messaging channels beyond LINE
- Enterprise security and governance features
Vision: Build. Serve. Learn. Grow. Every conversation makes your AI smarter, helping every business deliver better customer experiences and grow with confidence.
