What's viai.club?
VIAI's an AI helper for doing business in the US Virgin Islands. Ask in plain English — "where do I file an LLC", "what's the EDC tax program", "are there hiring grants" — and get back a sourced answer.
Built and maintained by spw1, hosted right here in the islands. Free to use. No accounts. No tracking.
How it works
VIAI reads from a curated knowledge base of authoritative USVI documents — government bulletins, EDC program pages, license guides, official FAQ. When you ask a question, it pulls the relevant snippets and writes a plain-English answer that cites every source it used.
The model behind the answer is large-language-model AI (Llama 3.3 70B served by Groq, with local Ollama as a fallback). The retrieval layer is the Kevin platform's RagRouter.
What it isn't
- Not legal advice. For binding decisions, talk to an attorney.
- Not financial or tax advice. Talk to a CPA.
- Not a replacement for the relevant agency. When the answer says "file at DLCA", you still have to go file at DLCA.
- Not always right. If something looks off, click the source link and check.
