ShopTalkAi
Built at Meta Global AI Developer Hackathon · Oct 26, 2026 · Remote

ShopTalk AI is a voice-and-text operations assistant built for small businesses and local shops. Instead of navigating rigid UI forms or database fields, owners use everyday conversational language—such as "sell 2 honey beans 5kg," "we received 20 bags," or "how much did we sell this week?" The system interprets these requests using Meta’s models, translating messy, free-form input into structured operational plans. To ensure financial integrity, the AI never modifies money or stock directly. A strict preview-and-confirm mechanism proposes transactions, while Django revalidates permissions, current prices, and inventory levels before committing everything atomically with a complete audit trail. The platform includes full inventory and catalogue management, sales and expense tracking, branded receipts and invoices, team roles, knowledge document uploads, and continuous hands-on conversation with spoken replies. It is implemented as a production-style product featuring a PostgreSQL database and containerized deployment.
