I’m a 18yo MIS student building an AI automation tool for SMEs. Roast my MVP!

I'm Irem, a Management Information Systems (MIS) student from Turkey. While my friends are mostly focusing on passing finals, I’ve been obsessed with building my first SaaS: Solace.

The Problem: I noticed that many Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) are still drowning in manual Excel sheets and repetitive customer emails. They want automation, but enterprise tools are too complex and expensive for them.

The Solution: I built Solace—an AI-powered assistant that connects to their inventory and email. It handles stock updates and drafts replies to customer queries automatically using Google's Gemini models.

I'm currently finalizing the landing page, but the MVP is fully functional. I wanted to share a demo with this community first to get some raw feedback.

The Stack (My "Chaos" Stack): Since I wanted to move fast, I used tools I’m comfortable with:
Frontend: Streamlit (Fastest way to ship UI)
Backend: Python
Brain: Google Gemini API
Database: Google Sheets (It acts as a database for the MVP—simple and effective for SMEs)

The Ask: I’d love your honest feedback to help me refine this before the full launch:

Is the UI too simple, or does it look functional enough for an internal tool?

Does the feature set (Inventory + AI Support) make sense for small businesses?

Thanks for checking it out! 🚀
