We build AI that does the work, not the demo
LocalBiz AI exists because appointment-based businesses lose real revenue to unanswered messages — and because most 'AI receptionists' on the market can't actually book anything.
About LocalBiz AI
LocalBiz AI is a founder-led SaaS technology startup building AI receptionist infrastructure for appointment-based businesses.
Its live platform combines Sophia, an AI receptionist, with a centralized business dashboard for conversations, leads, appointments, calendar management, and customer workflows.
Founded in 2026, LocalBiz AI currently operates as a bootstrapped, pre-funded one-person startup: Aman Qayyum is the founder and primary builder — no agency, no outsourced dev team. The live MVP is available for business trials.

How LocalBiz AI Operates Today
LocalBiz AI currently operates as a founder-led SaaS business. Businesses can access the public live demo, start a 14-day trial, and receive hands-on configuration and onboarding from the founder. Sophia is configured using each business's knowledge, services, booking rules, availability, and communication preferences.
Bootstrapped today, LocalBiz AI is actively preparing for early-stage venture funding to scale the platform.
Our principle: truth first
An AI receptionist is only useful if everything it says about your schedule is true. That's why Sophia's architecture starts with your live calendar as the single source of truth, wraps every booking in a transaction-safe engine, and isolates every workspace at the database level. We'd rather say "I can't book that" than invent a slot.
Founder-assisted onboarding
Every trial begins with founder-assisted configuration so that Sophia's knowledge, tone, services, availability, and booking rules accurately reflect the business before deployment. You shouldn't need a weekend and a manual to deploy AI in your business.
Judge us by the demo
