I Built SellSmart AI: Product Listings Made Easier with Local AI 🛍️
For Week 2 of the Hacktoberfest 2026 DEV Open-Source AI Challenge, I built SellSmart AI — a simple tool that helps small businesses and online sellers create product marketing content.
💡 What does it do?
SellSmart AI lets users enter a product name, add product details, and choose a selling platform. It then generates a catchy title, product description, and promotional caption.
🛠️ Tech Stack
- HTML
- CSS
- JavaScript
- Ollama
- Qwen 2.5 1.5B
🌱 Why Open-Source AI?
I used an open-weight model running locally through Ollama. This approach gives users more control over their data and reduces dependence on paid, hosted AI APIs.
As a beginner, this project helped me learn how a web interface can connect to a local AI model and turn user input into useful content.
🎯 Who is it for?
SellSmart AI is designed for small business owners, freelancers, and online sellers who want to create product listings more quickly.

🚀 What's Next?
I'd like to improve the interface, test more product types, and gather feedback from real sellers.
Built for Hacktoberfest 2026 — Week 2: Side Hustle.
