Most local businesses can't afford an agency and don't have time to learn marketing, they just want customers. Spun is an AI marketing agent local business owners talk to on WhatsApp that audits their Google Business Profile listing, creates and launches ads, collects customer reviews, serves up business analytics and sends an overview report at the start of every week.

I've been advising Az as he built Spun from scratch. After spending two decades running marketing for some of the largest brands on earth, he realized local business owners are one of the most underserved when it comes to technology. AI agents feel like they're everywhere, yet they still haven't found their way to the high street. Spun is an AI agent that automates all marketing and admin work for local businesses like salons, cafes, plumbers, and dentists. The best part is that Spun lives in whatsapp, the place where these business owners already are. Spun is now available in the UK and will expand later to more markets. Sign up here: spun.bot.

Thanks for Hunting us Ali, we really appreciate it.

Hi Product Hunt I'm Az, founder of Spun.

I spent 18 years in corporate marketing, and the uncomfortable truth I took from it is this: everything I knew how to do for big brands was completely out of reach for the local businesses of my community. I watched the high streets around me get hollowed out. Not because they were bad businesses, but because being found online now takes either money or hours they simply don't have. The tools that were supposed to help like the dashboards, the ad managers, the analytics suites were all built for marketers.

So I thought, what if the whole thing was an intelligent WhatsApp chat? Not an app to learn. Not another login. The same platform they use to talk to their customers and their suppliers could now do their marketing for them with an AI marketer on the other end. That one decision shaped everything else.

We're launching Spun with what we consider the essentials for any local business; Google Business Profile, Google Ads and Analytics. We’ve mapped out a longer roadmap that will include Meta Ads, making and amending customer bookings, deposit collection and invoice chasing, but today is about one question: would the small business owners in your life use this?

If you've ever run a small business or watched a family member run one, I'd genuinely love your take. I'm here all day and I'll answer all questions.
