“I didn't expect to see numbers this clearly.”
A client's reaction to this month's report not because the results were flashy, but because it was finally clear what the automations actually did, in plain terms, without a spreadsheet to decode.
→ A report that gets read matters more than one that just gets sent.

Just wrapped up an AI voice agent for a residential cleaning business 🎙️ It handles the full call end to end — checks service area, gives a live quote, checks real calendar availability, and books the appointment straight onto Google Calendar. Built with Vapi + n8n + Google Calendar API. Portfolio build, but fully working — swipe through the n8n workflow in the video 👀

Rope Street Tattoo, Brașov (fictional)
Problem solved: a solo tattoo artist loses tourist leads to midnight DM replies and a day's pay to every no-show. Now any message becomes a priced, deposit-paid booking in under a minute, and confirmations, reschedules and waitlist refills run on their own.
The client: Mara, one chair, around the corner from Strada Sforii. Gloves on 7 hours a day, so DMs wait until midnight. Every quote needs size, placement and colour: about 7 messages per booking. Tourists leave before she replies, and 1 client in 7 doesn't show up.
What I built in Lovable:
→ Front door: describe the idea in English, German or Romanian. AI reads it, but Mara's own rules set duration, price and deposit. Only times that fit the job and the customer's days in town. Stripe deposit, booked. Cover-ups and hands go to Mara instead.
→ Autopilot: confirm or move at 72 h, a second nudge at 48 h, unconfirmed slots released 24 h ahead and offered to the waitlist, prep reminders, online consent forms, aftercare and touch-ups.
→ Owner area: Today, Week, Needs you with drafted replies, paste-a-DM replies, and the numbers: in four weeks of demo data, 304 messages not written and 38 h 53 min saved.
→ A demo clock to fast-forward and watch it work.

A tourist who books two days ahead lands inside the 72-hour confirmation step. Does that booking skip the confirm-or-move message, or does it get the 48-hour nudge straight away?
Behind every clean chart is a messy spreadsheet 🧹
This is what a real data cleaning job looks like before it becomes an elegant bar chart — duplicate rows, missing values, inconsistent formatting, all sorted out with Python and Pandas.
#collage attempt: a look inside the data analyst's actual desk, not just the pretty output.
