The idea behind OpenPOS is simple: one ground truth for business data, owned by the business itself. They can use our hosted OpenPOS Cloud or self-host their own — either way, they control access and AI runs at the core of every workflow.

Ask HN: Who wants to help build an open, AI-native operating system for SMBs?

We’ve spent the past few years building AI voice agents for restaurants and small businesses.The biggest pain we keep hitting: data and workflows are trapped in closed POS systems (Square, Toast, Clover, etc).

Thanks for the feedback. We do notice the AI feels a little bit slow for the first round of conversation, but we also notice once you get used to the pace of the AI, the conversation will become more smooth. We have added some improvements, please give it another try, and looking forward to your feedback!

It only supports English now. Will add support for other languages. The ASR and TTS have room to improve. Thanks for your feedback!
