Hi Product Hunt! 👋
I built BasicInventory for small businesses that don't want the complexity of an ERP. No cloud setup. No monthly subscription. No servers to install. Just a Windows PC and you're ready to manage your stock.
One of the features I wanted to bring to an inventory app in this price range is AI — but without making it complicated. Bring your own OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini, or OpenRouter API key, or use a model that offers a free tier. No additional AI subscription from BasicInventory, no markup, no complicated setup. Just connect it and ask questions about your inventory.
The assistant is read-only, so it can query your stock but can never modify it. AI is completely optional, and the rest of the application works without it.
You can try the full app in your browser with the free demo before buying.
I'd love your feedback: what would you ask your inventory if you could simply ask it a question? And what feature would make BasicInventory more useful for your business?
The roadmap after 1.0 will be shaped by your feedback and the conversations from this launch.
