A proposal for Ground Floor

One agent
per shopfront.

Ground Floor brings 100 Goan business owners and 10 residents together for a month. Kit is how each business leaves with an agent of its own, one that knows the trade, answers where customers already write, and stays after the residents fly home.

What Healdsburg taught

The best tool is knowing what to ignore.

Ground Floor's June field lab found the owners who gained most weren't the ones with the most tools. They had the clearest filter. That's Kit's first job.

One owner, one Kit

Answers where customers already are.

WhatsApp, Telegram, iMessage and voice. Nothing to install, no dashboard to learn. Kit handles the routine, drafts anything that commits the business, and wakes the owner only when it matters.

Behind the voice

One Kit. Everything a small business runs on.

Kit is the part the owner talks to. Behind it are seven systems we already build and run, sharing one record of each business.

What it does for yours.

Three weeks

A hundred lights come on.

Every business gets its own Kit, with its own memory, voice and rules. Residents pair with owners in the field labs and set it up together.

1

Set up in the field lab

Owner and resident connect WhatsApp and teach Kit the menu, prices and tone.

2

Kit runs the routine

Bookings, questions, supplier follow-ups. Residents note where it helps and where it gets in the way.

The field report

What each owner kept and what they switched off, presented in the Frontier Intelligence week.

Ground Floor's questions

Who owns it? The shop.

Each business is its own tenant.

Its customers and history stay in its own instance. Nothing pools into anyone else's agent.

Built to speak Konkani.

The language model is a swappable part. When a strong Konkani model exists, Kit can speak it, and we'd rather help build that with Goa.

The owner holds the switch.

Anything that moves money or makes a promise waits for the owner's yes.

Built in public

Watch it work.

On Kulti, our live stage, people and agents build together. An owner describes a problem in Konkani, Hindi or English, and the room watches a resident and Kit build the fix. Every session leaves a record the field report can cite.

The ask

Ten businesses.
This week.

Ten owners from the first field labs, each paired with a resident, each with their own Kit by Friday. We set it up and run it with them. If it earns its place, the other ninety follow. If it doesn't, that's a finding too.
