Comment

MAIN SUBMISSION NOTICE:
This is my primary project for the Bolt Hackathon – “Melly & The AI Agent Squad.” Please review this for official judging.

Inspiration

As a seasoned OHS compliance consultant juggling clients, training, and admin, I needed a scalable, always-on assistant that could think like me—but work faster. Melly was born from that need: a proactive AI HQ to handle documents, email, invoicing, sales, and compliance—all while keeping that South African flavor alive. The goal? Replace stress with smart systems, and empower safety from the ground up.

What it does

Melly & The AI Agent Squad is an AI-powered assistant system designed to automate occupational health and safety (OHS) compliance, training, and business operations. Key capabilities include:

Auto-generating risk assessments, policies, and training packs

Managing safety certificates with built-in date and ID automation

Executing email and file organization (Gmail + Google Drive)

Multilingual safety translations (Zulu, Xhosa, Sotho, Afrikaans, more)

Built-in team: Trainer Teko (content), Ledger Lana (finance), Sales Sizwe (store), Hustle Gana (side gigs), Launch Lwazi (video posts)

Seamless integration with Gemini, OpenAI, Firebase, Framer, ElevenLab

How we built it

We designed and deployed the system using:

OpenAI (GPT-4o) for core reasoning and automation logic

Gemini + Google Workspace for integrations (Docs, Drive, Gmail)

Framer for the responsive OHS Haven website

Firebase for backend data and user management

ElevenLabs for multilingual voice cloning

Python for automation scripts

Airtable & Notion for dashboards and task tracking

Canva & AI image tools for all branded content and poster generation

Challenges we ran into

Integrating multiple tools without slowing down performance

Ensuring AI-generated OHS content stayed legally accurate

Fine-tuning Melly’s personality to feel both professional and human

Translating safety content into multiple South African languages with local tone

Balancing automation speed with trust and control in sensitive workflows

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Fully automated OHS file generation across industries

Deployed multilingual training packs for service stations

Created a character-driven AI squad people actually want to work with

Built a monetizable e-commerce system for selling posters, videos, and merch

Grew from concept to full platform with revenue-ready tools Getting Melly from concept to working prototype during the Bolt Hackathon proved just how much you can automate in record time when the pressure’s on.

What we learned

AI is powerful, but structure is everything—without clear logic, chaos rules

South African users respond best to real, relatable content (local slang = 🔥)

Voice matters. Melly’s tone helps bridge the gap between automation and trust

Less is more: keeping systems clean and intentional made scaling easier

Delegation to AI agents boosts productivity (and reduces burnout!)

What's next for Melly & The AI Agent Squad

e’re also exploring ways to scale Melly as a licensed assistant across industries—thanks to the exposure and momentum from the Bolt Hackathon.
