GrabBuddy is a solution project for UMHackathon 2025 by Team 418, it is a platform to further empower entrepreneurs working with grab by leveraging Generative AI to create smart, intuitive chat-based assistants. These AI-driven interfaces allow for actionable insights and proactive guidance directly to merchants, enabling better business decisions and streamlined operations.
The goal is to develop an intelligent, chat-based AI assistant that proactively provides merchant-partners with valuable insights, personalized guidance, and operational alerts.
