When we talk about the power of Generative AI, we often focus entirely on the backend models. We talk about parameters, tokens, context windows, and hosting servers. But for millions of local shopkeepers and micro-merchants across India, these technical terms don't mean anything. For them, technology is only useful if it solves their day-to-day problems with minimal effort.
During the AI for Bharat Hackathon (organized by Hack2Skill and supported by AWS), my teammate Mohammed Ayaan Adil Ahmed and I wanted to bridge this UX gap.
We built BizBoost AI — बोल के बेचो (Speak it. Sell it.) 🎙️
While Ayaan engineered the serverless AWS backend and Amazon Bedrock integration, I was responsible for designing and building the frontend. My goal was simple: create an ultra-simple, mobile-first, voice-driven interface that anyone could use without training.
Here is how I implemented browser-based Hindi speech recognition and optimized the user experience for Indian merchants.
