        abstract = {LOCLINK is a hyper-local, decentralized service platform designed to connect service seekers with skilled individuals in their immediate community. In the era of hyper-connected digital ecosystems, the demand for instant, reliable, and secure access to local services ranging from home repairs and healthcare assistance to professional consultations has significantly increased. Conventional platforms for service discovery often rely on static search-based systems and manual filtering, which limits their adaptability, personalization, and trustworthiness. This paper introduces LOCLINK, an Agentic AI-powered instant local services provider platform that autonomously manages service discovery, user-service matching, trust evaluation, and dynamic engagement. Unlike traditional recommendation engines, LOCLINK leverages multi-agent reinforcement learning, semantic knowledge graphs, and quantum-inspired optimization models to provide real-time personalized service matching. The project addresses two primary problems: the difficulty for local, skilled workers to find work nearby, and the challenge for service seekers to find reliable help quickly through unverified methods like word-of-mouth or social media groups. A key feature is the emphasis on community trust through a transparent ratings and reviews system, rather than relying on corporate verification. LOCLINK aims to empower gig workers by allowing them to set their own prices and work schedules, while providing service seekers with an organized, efficient, and instant solution to their needs.},
