AutoPitot

AutoPitot is an AI-powered assistant that helps small business owners manage daily operations such as scheduling, inventory tracking, customer communication, and reporting from a single conversational interface. We were inspired by how much time business owners lose on repetitive administrative tasks, and wanted to build something that could handle those tasks automatically using natural language. We built it using the Gemini API for language understanding, a Python backend for business logic, and a TypeScript frontend for the dashboard. The biggest challenge was integrating multiple data sources into one coherent assistant and designing prompts that reliably produced structured, actionable outputs. We are proud of having a working end-to-end prototype that turns natural language requests into real business actions, and we learned a lot about prompt engineering and building applications around an AI agent core. Next, we plan to add more integrations with popular business tools and run pilot programs with real small businesses.
