Inspiration

Bizzy began with my uncle — a pomelo farmer in Southern Thailand. Despite growing top-quality fruit, he didn’t know how to sell online. Like many small business owners, he relied on middlemen who took most of the profit.

I built Bizzy to help him and others like him to take back control of their sales with a simple tool that requires minimal technical skills. Bizzy empowers low-tech, solo entrepreneurs to grow their businesses online, with everything done for them.

What it does

Bizzy is a social commerce platform built for one-person businesses. It comes fully set up with:

A friendly Facebook chatbot that acts as a 24/7 sales agent
Real-time dashboard for tracking orders and revenue
Inventory management and order creation directly from chat
Automated post scheduler for Facebook
Bio storefront, Mini-CRM, and AI assistant
Zero friction — we set up everything for the user

How we built it

Frontend: Built with Bolt.new and deployed using Netlify
Backend: Uses Supabase for authentication, database, and edge functions
Chatbot: Facebook Messenger bot connected via Webhook, powered by Supabase edge functions
Domain: Deployed on a custom IONOS domain via Entri (Bizzy.site)
Hosting & CI/CD: Fully deployed on Netlify with instant updates

Challenges we ran into

Understanding what users really need to sell online — since I had no prior experience myself, I talked to friends who run small businesses to learn what matters to them.
Facebook Graph API and Messenger webhook integration — handling permissions, secure setup, and syncing with the backend took time to get right.
Prompt engineering and ensuring the AI chatbot could execute tools properly — getting it to trigger functions like order creation and customer tracking in the right context was tricky, especially with an unfamiliar framework.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

Successfully built an end-to-end tool that solo sellers can actually use
Launched an MVP at Bizzy.site with working chatbot + backend

What we learned

Empathy leads to clarity. Building for low-tech users forced us to simplify and focus on actual needs.
Chatbots can be sales agents. When designed well, they can guide, reassure, and close — not just answer questions.
Bolt + Supabase + Netlify is a powerful stack for fast full-stack dev with scalability built-in.

What's next for Bizzy.site

Test and iterate with real businesses — We’re onboarding local sellers to use Bizzy in real scenarios, helping us find and fix the remaining bugs and UX gaps.
Localizing Bizzy for Thai speakers — We're translating the chatbot, dashboard, and onboarding flow to support Thai-speaking users and make the platform truly accessible.
