AI Integrated Live Shopping Platform MVP

AI Live Commerce Platform – MVP Development Request

Introduction

Hello,

We are building an AI-powered Live Commerce platform that will initially be used for our own TikTok Live sales operations and later offered as a SaaS platform for other businesses.

We are looking for a software development partner to build the MVP (Minimum Viable Product).

⸻

Project Goal

The objective is to create a system where an AI avatar can host a live shopping session, answer customer questions in real time, and sell products automatically.

The system should integrate multiple third-party AI services into one seamless platform.

⸻

Core Components

The MVP will integrate the following services:

1. AI Brain

* OpenAI API
* Generates intelligent responses
* Understands customer questions
* Uses product knowledge to answer accurately

2. AI Voice

* ElevenLabs API
* Converts generated text into natural speech
* Supports multiple languages

3. AI Avatar

* HeyGen Avatar API
* Makes the avatar speak using the generated voice
* Supports real-time interaction if available

4. Live Streaming

* OBS Studio (or another streaming solution)
* Streams the avatar to TikTok Live
* Displays products, prices, banners, and promotional graphics

5. Live Chat Integration

The system should receive TikTok Live chat messages.

Example:

Customer:
“Does this suitcase have a warranty?”

↓

OpenAI generates:

“Yes, this suitcase includes a 2-year international warranty.”

↓

ElevenLabs generates speech.

↓

HeyGen avatar speaks the response.
