Reply Desk's business model is premised on being open source: privacy is the core of the product (data never leaves the local machine), each reply costs nothing (the shop's own laptop does the work), and it adopts a price of ₹199/month.
Reply Desk's urgency determination uses a pure keyword list (such as hair, cockroach, sick, food poisoning, not fresh, refund, rude, etc.), which is predictable, instant, and does not depend on model loading.
Reply Desk's positive sentiment rule is: when the review contains no complaint words (such as but, though, cold, slow, rude, not, etc.), it is directly judged positive without asking the model.
On a pure-CPU laptop without a GPU, the replies Reply Desk generates for the fictional cafe Chai Point Corner and its owner Priya are polite, specific, signed, and never fabricate discounts or fake phone numbers.
The developer made the no-GPU path work through three fixes: switching the CPU path to the 8-bit version (because the WASM backend lacks the GatherBlockQuantized kernel), passing use_external_data_format to resolve the 404 on the int8 model, and enabling WASM multithreading by setting the Cross-Origin-Opener-Policy and Cross-Origin-Embedder-Policy headers.
Reply Desk is a browser-side review reply assistant submitted by developer Yash11778 in the "side project" track of the second week of the Hacktoberfest open-source AI challenge.
Reply Desk's features include: marking urgent reviews involving food safety, health, money, and employee behavior as Today and pinning them, identifying review sentiment (positive/mixed/negative), and drafting replies in the shop owner's voice with a signature.
Reply Desk runs entirely within a browser tab, uses the open-weight model Gemma 3 1B, requires no account, API key, or server, and uploads no data.
A Web Worker is a background thread mechanism provided by the browser in which scripts run without blocking the main thread's UI rendering; Reply Desk places model loading and inference in a Web Worker to avoid freezing the page.
Reply Desk uses the onnx-community/gemma-3-1b-it-ONNX model, using 4-bit weights on WebGPU and 8-bit weights on CPU.
