The brief
An online electronics store that partly runs itself: it writes its own product descriptions, digests customer reviews, flags bad content, takes payments, and texts buyers on WhatsApp.
Running an online store by hand is relentless: writing product copy, reading every review, moderating content, and keeping buyers updated.
What I built
A complete electronics store with three assistants working behind the scenes: one writes product descriptions, one summarizes what reviews really say, one flags content that needs a human. Local OTP payments and automatic WhatsApp order updates are built in.
Reviews triaged before a human reads them
The moderation queue auto-triages reviews by severity, so a person only sees what genuinely needs a person. Approval stays a human decision.
A storefront that sells like it looks
A dark, premium storefront with hand-picked products, full variant and stock handling, and reviews on every product page.
Orders with a paper trail
Every order moves through the back office with its status transitions captured in the audit log, and the buyer gets a WhatsApp text at each step.
Product copy that writes itself
Descriptions are drafted by a purpose-built Gemini agent inside the product editor. The owner edits and approves instead of starting from a blank box.
Promotions with guardrails
Percentage and fixed coupons with validity windows and order minimums. The promotions engine enforces the fine print.
The hard part
Three purpose-built Gemini agents wired into ordinary shop operations: description writing, review digestion, moderation triage, all inside a 12-module Laravel monolith kept clean enough to reason about, with local OTP payments (Adfali/Plutu) and automatic WhatsApp order notifications.
The result
The store handles the busywork itself, so the owner works on the business instead of the admin. Customers pay the way they trust and stay updated on WhatsApp.
