HGJ Business Assistant · Retired

Simple business management without the overwhelm.

Talk. Snap. Done. — a PWA built for South African micro-businesses.

This product has been retired as a live service. The page stays as a portfolio case study, and the source code is public on GitHub.

What Is HGJ Business Assistant?

Built for South African service businesses.

HGJ Business Assistant was designed for South African service businesses that wanted a simple way to manage customers, quotes, invoices and payments — without complicated accounting software. No spreadsheets, no jargon, no steep learning curve. Just talk, snap a photo, or type — and the business stayed organised. It shipped as a live product and is now retired; what remains is the engineering story and public codebase.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need accounting knowledge to use this?

No. HGJ Business Assistant is built for business owners, not bookkeepers — capture what happened in plain language and the app handles quotes, invoices and payment tracking for you.

Is my data safe and private?

Yes. Voice recordings and photos are deleted immediately after they're processed — only the confirmed information you approve is ever saved. Nothing saves automatically without your confirmation.

Is the product still available to buy or subscribe?

No. HGJ Business Assistant has been retired as a live product. The public GitHub repository remains available as a portfolio / engineering reference.

Did it work on phones?

Yes. It was built as a progressive web app that installs to the home screen and works on modern phones, tablets and computers.

Where can I see the code?

On GitHub at HeavenlyGlowJourneys/hgj-business — a portfolio-safe copy without production credentials or live database access.
