Inspiration
Conversations about real-business problems and challenges for local small businesses that can be improved with AI and software
What it does
Allows business owners to ask questions about their inventory, make demand-based restock orders, and configure complex rebates into structured business rules for calculating the optimal order with PayPal integration to make actual purchase orders.
How we built it
I built a plan with AI of the use cases and requirements for StockPilot. I provided actual business challenges of calculating restock orders and rebates. The design uses the ChatGPT 6 luna model to handle conversations and use tools. Designed the appropriate and necessary tools for the AI model to use to make safe and proper queries and make deterministic calculations.
Accomplishments that we're proud of
An end to end workflow from using AI to get a recommended purchase order based on the users constraints, to editing, confirming and making an actual purchase order via PayPal in a matter of minutes is very rewarding. This can help business owners modernize their business and optimize their day to day and therefore allow them to focus more on customers and other necessary tasks.
What we learned
It's important to design solutions based on actual business problems rather than over-designing and building a solution for a problem that doesn't necessarily exist or is addressed only partly.
What's next for StockPilot
