How We Help

Six ways we stand behind your business.

Avuril is one kit for the owner who opens the doors every morning. Here is what each part does for your business, and why it matters right now.

Two more are on the way. See What's Launching Soon.

01AI-Assistant Pages

Be readable where more than a billion people now ask.

ChatGPT alone is used by more than a billion people every week. About half of American adults now use an AI chatbot, up from a third two years ago, and the number keeps climbing.

Meanwhile, the big directories are closing their doors. Yelp says it only lets in the AI assistants whose makers pay for its data, and Google is in court to keep AI bots off its search results. Those sites earn from the ads people see when they visit, and an assistant reading for someone sees none of them.

Avuril is how you stay in the conversation. You type your hours, prices, and how to book, and we publish them on a page and in a plain file any AI assistant can read. Your business stays reachable to the millions of people who ask, for one flat fee.

When the directories close their doors, your Avuril page stays open, so the assistant still finds you.

02Consultancy

Straight answers from a person, not a chatbot.

Running a shop throws up problems nobody warns you about: a supplier who keeps slipping, a regular who wants a discount, a price you aren't sure of. Bring it to Consultancy and you get a raw, honest conversation about it. No flattery and no telling you what you want to hear, just what we would do if it were our business.

There is no AI on the other end. A person at Avuril picks up your question and works it through with you, as quickly as we can, until you have a way forward that's good for the business.

A reply usually lands within 3 to 4 hours, depending on how many owners are writing in. On the busiest days it has stretched to 24 hours, and never beyond.

The Division Street night market is in two days, two blocks up. What should we do to get ready for it?

A person at Avuril

Social media and banners on the street will do the job for you. Post your hours and the free brake check the day before, then again on the morning.

We can make the banner for you: your name, the offer, and an arrow toward the door. Is the free brake check okay as the hook?

A reply is a suggestion from a person at Avuril. You decide what to do with it. Avuril does not take responsibility for the outcome.

03Reviews

What people say about you, all in one place.

Your Google rating and newest reviews sit on one board, beside the facts you publish, so you can see how people see your business without hunting for it.

Answer the kind words and the hard ones alike. A short thank-you to a regular and a calm reply to a complaint both tell the next reader that the owner is present. Our hand-written guide helps with the wording.

Checking in regularly is how a reputation grows, one reply at a time.

“Dropped the Civic off Tuesday morning. They called with the water pump price before they started, and it was ready by 3.”

Reply on Google

From Our Reply Guide: A reply is written for the next customer reading it, not for the reviewer.

When It's Kind
Thank them in a sentence or two, and name one thing they mentioned.
When It's Hard
Reply calmly and in public. Say what you will do, not what you dispute.

04Nearby Events

When the crowd comes to your street, be ready for it.

Picture a dental clinic a short walk from the stadium, with 20,000 people coming in for a soccer match. A crowd like that passes your door once. The owners who get the most out of a day like that start promoting at the right time, not on the morning of the game.

Nearby Events shows the concerts, games, markets, holidays, and weather around your map pin for the next two weeks, so you see the day coming while there is still time to act on it.

Timing and execution are what count. If you aren't sure how to make the most of an event, bring it to Consultancy and plan it with our advisors.

05Deals and Schemes

The help that exists for you, before the deadline passes.

Grants and relief schemes open and close all the time, and suppliers run deals on the things you buy anyway. Many are written for a business your size, and many are missed, because the notice sits in a city newsletter, a trade association email, or on a noticeboard you never walk past.

Avuril gathers the ones that fit your business and sends them in one plain email: what it is, who can claim, and the date it closes. Nothing to hunt for, and no small print to decode.

A grant you hear about after the deadline is a grant you never had. Seeing it in your inbox with weeks to spare is what gives you time to claim it.

06Weekly Watch

No customer should walk in and argue over an old price.

Offers end, prices move, you add a new service, your winter hours start. When your page doesn't keep up, a customer walks in expecting yesterday's price, and the visit starts with a debate.

Keep your page updated with your latest offers, prices, additions, and hours. Every week Avuril checks it and tells you when an offer has run out or facts haven't been confirmed in two weeks, so customers, and the AI assistants they ask, always get the newest version.

Not Available Yet

Two problems owners face alone. We're building the fix.

Neither of these is open yet. Both are being built now, and they will be available to owners on Avuril soon. Here is what we're making, and why.

In the Works

Marketplace

Sell your equipment to the people who know what it's worth.

Ever had a piece of equipment only another shop like yours would buy? A deck oven, a dental chair, a lift, or a second espresso machine sits in the back for months, because on the open market a stranger doesn't know what it is, haggles it down to scrap, or never turns up. We're building a marketplace only for business owners on Avuril, so you can buy and sell among yourselves.

How It Will Help You

Buyers Who Understand the Gear
Another bakery knows what a deck oven is worth. You talk to someone who will use it, not a reseller looking for a cheap flip.
Owners Only, No Strangers
Every buyer and seller will be a business owner on Avuril, with a page you can look at before you reply.
Turn Idle Kit Back into Cash
Upgraded, downsized, or changed your menu? What you no longer use can pay for what you need next.
Grow Without Paying for New
Opening a second chair or replacing a fryer is easier when the gear comes from an owner who looked after it.

In the Works

Merge and Acquire

When it's time to step back, your business doesn't have to close.

No owner wants to shut down. But money runs short, health changes, or there is nobody to hand it to, and years of work end with a sign on the door. Meanwhile, other owners are looking for exactly that: a shop with regulars, a lease, and a name. We're building a way for the two to find each other, whether that's a sale, a merger, or a partnership.

How It Will Help You

A Way Out That Isn't Closing
Sell what you built instead of locking the door, so your regulars keep their place and your staff have a chance to stay on.
Find a Partner Before It's Too Late
A business going through a hard stretch can find another owner who brings money, skills, or customers, while there is still something to save.
Grow by Taking Over, Not Starting Over
If you want a second location, an established shop with its own customers is often a better start than an empty unit.
Quiet Until You're Ready
Listings will be shown only to owners on Avuril, so word doesn't reach your staff and customers before you've decided.
