Product overview

geolocal.io is AI-readiness infrastructure for local businesses with real-world presence — services and local retail. Assistants call structured endpoints. Businesses own their presence. Intermediates and partners help distribution. Booking, payment, and inventory systems are orchestrated through specialists where needed; we do not rebuild Shopify for pure online stores.

Platform vs activation

Layer Responsibility
Platform Multi-tenant MCP, discovery attachment, ingestion/content sync, genre packs (services + retail), telemetry, quality enforcement, intermediate aggregation
Activation Self-Service Portal and assisted onboarding
Distribution Tourism boards, chambers, agencies

The portal is how Model 1 scales. It is not the product definition of the company.

Surfaces

Surface Audience Status
MCP gateway AI agents MVP in code/ (stdio); HTTP is Priority 0
Genre packs Vertical structure for agents + owners Services + retail in strategy; auto pack first via UC-01; retail via UC-03
Self-Service Portal SMB owners / delegates Specified; not built
Intermediate MCP + board tools Tourism boards / chambers UC-02; not built
Partner flows Agencies / local web Distribution; after core attach

Canonical use cases

Scope reminder
