LocalBiz AI

LocalBiz AI is a focused marketing workspace for small businesses, local shops, cafés, makers, and online sellers. It turns product details, promotions, and everyday business ideas into useful marketing content without adding a heavy content-management system.

npm install cp.env.example.env.local npm run dev Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode Open https://www.localblizai.dev/.

Create a Supabase project, enable Authentication → Providers → Email, and copy the project URL and publishable/anon key into.env.local:

In Supabase Authentication → URL Configuration, set:

For production, replace these with your deployed Vercel URL, for example:

GROQ_API_KEY = your_key_here GROQ_MODEL = openai/gpt-oss-20b Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode GROQ_API_KEY must not use the NEXT_PUBLIC_ prefix. The key is only read in the server route after the authenticated user is verified. Requests are validated and limited to 2,000 characters per field. Missing keys, rate limits, upstream failures, and malformed model responses return useful errors. Inference is hosted by Groq; it is not local inference.

Open-weight models give LocalBiz AI a more portable generation layer than a provider-locked workflow. Today the app uses fast hosted Groq inference; later, a compatible open-weight deployment can be introduced without changing the product’s core prompts and UI. This is useful for small businesses that need practical content creation while keeping options open around cost, hosting, and model choice.
