i9bar — Instant Store

Make a possible improvement tangible

i9bar — Instant Store turns public business information into an unofficial webpage preview that a person can inspect before committing to a website project. It is one implemented experimental feature of the broader i9bar tool being developed by Inovbar, not a claim that the full platform is complete.

The problem

A possible digital improvement is easier to discuss when there is something concrete to review. We explored how to turn public business context into a tangible example and a structured next conversation, rather than an abstract recommendation.

What the prototype does

Choose a city and business category, inspect OpenStreetMap records and create a one-page preview. The page uses available public information and clearly labelled illustrative imagery. A missing website field means no website is listed in that source; it does not prove that the business has no website.

The latest locally tested version adds an i9bar review panel: a person can write notes and export an opportunity brief as a JSON file. The brief separates source-reported information, search context, unverified display values, a proposed opportunity, unknowns and questions. Adding notes does not approve the opportunity or send a message. Nothing in the demonstrated workflow contacts the business automatically.

Role of AI and current limits

AI coding agents supported development. The demonstrated public-data-to-preview workflow uses deterministic templates; it does not call an LLM. The code includes optional model-assisted extraction/enrichment and a separate AI-call integration, but live runtime AI and outbound calls were not validated in our tested demonstration. Broader company diagnosis, solution comparison and agent-based behavioral simulation remain product direction, not working features in this submission.

Architecture, source systems and data

The prototype uses Next.js, React and TypeScript, with Tailwind CSS, OpenStreetMap/Overpass, Leaflet, QR generation and Vitest. Public map records or a dated Braga snapshot provide the business name, location and available contact/opening-hours data. The application transforms that information into a preview and a human-review interface; the opportunity brief is downloaded locally as JSON. Search parameters and assembled address values are not promoted to independently confirmed business facts. No private enterprise-system integration is demonstrated.

Results and demonstration

The latest local feature revision passed 61 automated tests, TypeScript checks and a production build. A real browser created a preview, added review notes, downloaded and checked the brief, and rendered its QR. The tested desktop/mobile views had no horizontal document overflow. These are software checks, not evidence of customers, demand, predictive accuracy or commercial returns.

Existing online demo: https://spcx.inovbar.com/?source=snapshot

Version note: this online demo currently serves an earlier build. The latest local review/export feature and its 61-test verification are not claimed to be deployed there. This draft preserves that distinction for review before publication.

Source repository: https://github.com/jhmpires/i9bar — currently private. The reviewed feature refinement is recorded in draft PR #5; the repository has not been made public.

Next validation

With a willing business, test whether a concrete preview and structured questions make the possible improvement clearer. The businesses shown from public records are examples, not customers, endorsers or consenting test participants.
