SahulatAI

Inspiration

Millions of small and informal businesses operate entirely through WhatsApp, spreadsheets, and manual processes. During the National Agentic AI Day and subsequent user interviews, we observed that these businesses lose customers daily due to slow responses, poor inventory tracking, lack of marketing, and no accounting automation. Existing tools are either too complex, too expensive, or not designed for non-technical users. We were inspired to build SahulatAI to make advanced AI automation accessible to these underserved businesses.

What This Project Does

SahulatAI is a multi-agent AI platform that acts as a virtual workforce for small businesses. It automates sales, customer support, inventory management, marketing, payments, and accounting using coordinated AI agents. Businesses onboard in minutes using familiar tools like WhatsApp and Google Sheets, without learning new dashboards. Instead of managing 5–7 tools, owners rely on autonomous AI agents that execute real business actions end-to-end.

How We Built It

We designed SahulatAI using a true agentic architecture. Each agent specializes in a task (Sales, Inventory, Marketing, Accounts, Payments) and collaborates through orchestration logic.

Backend: FastAPI with OpenAI Agents SDK, MCP Servers: We build 2 mcp servers (deployed), with Ouath 2.0 & Streamable-https, AI Models: Gemini, Nano-Banana, GPT-based agents, Observability: Datadog for agent traces and monitoring, Integrations: WhatsApp, Google Sheets, QuickBooks, Gmail, Database: PostgreSQL, Frontend: React, Cloud: Google Cloud Platform, Agents select tools dynamically, execute authenticated actions, and log every decision for reliability.

What We Learned

SMBs don’t want dashboards — they want outcomes. Automation must do the work, not assist. Frictionless onboarding matters more than features. QR-based and familiar tool integration dramatically increased adoption. Agent reliability requires observability. Tracing, retries, and guardrails are critical when agents perform real actions.

Challenges We Faced

Securely integrating real accounting systems (QuickBooks) while maintaining simplicity Managing cost and latency across multi-agent LLM workflows Handling inconsistent, messy spreadsheet data from real businesses Designing agents that recover gracefully from ambiguous inputs or API failures

Why It Matters

SahulatAI empowers small businesses with capabilities previously available only to large enterprises. By combining agentic AI, real integrations, and inclusive design, we help entrepreneurs save time, reduce errors, and grow sustainably — without needing technical expertise.
