Northbound🚀: Studio Autopilot
An AI-powered client pipeline for creative studios, wrapped in a hand-built 3D world. A brief comes in, gets scored and routed, becomes a priced proposal, is accepted online and turns into a running project, with no one chasing emails.
Every studio knows the feeling: a new brief lands and the clock starts. Then come hours of reading, qualifying, writing proposals, chasing replies and setting up the project. Northbound turns that whole journey into one automated flow, so a small studio can respond like a big one.
The problem: Creative studios lose their best hours to admin. Strong leads wait days for a proposal, weak ones eat the same time as good ones, and follow-ups slip through the cracks. The work that wins clients is the work nobody has time for.
The solution:
- AI brief scoring and routing. Every brief is read for budget, timeline, goals and fit, then routed one of three ways: fast track, a quick human review, or an honest, helpful decline with pointers.
- Tailored proposals in about a minute. Strong fits get a scoped proposal with workstreams, a realistic timeline and three priced packages.
- Online acceptance and kickoff booking. Clients pick a package, accept online and book their kickoff call on the spot.
- A project that runs itself. Milestones are planned on acceptance, and follow-ups and reminders go out automatically.
- A morning digest. Every day at 08:00 the studio owner gets a summary of new briefs, proposals awaiting review, clients who haven’t replied, and what’s due.
- An owner dashboard showing pipeline, win rate and hours saved, plus a review queue to approve held proposals in one click.
- A live demo console where anyone can send a sample brief through the real pipeline and watch each step happen.

Seeing how much work went into this, I want to know how long it took you to build.
It took few hrs to build and polish this.
It totally depends on the requirements.

For the tax document checklist, I'd match uploads to both the client and tax period before marking an item complete. How do you handle a client uploading last year's statement or a replacement after the checklist has already cleared?
Title: Plan Z: Abuela
Nico is 9,000 km from LA. Balloons, mailing himself in a box and a toaster teleporter all fail. Then his Abuela crashes in on a rocket scooter, turns the room into a CapCut timeline, and rides it straight to the CapCut World LA main stage. "Badge?" "Rendered."
BTS walkthrough: attached
Workflow
Characters: Nico's sheet with Seedream 5.0 Pro, then Abuela and Bruno with GPT Image 2.5 using Nico as style reference.
Shots: 10 images turned into video with Seedance 2.0 Fast in CapCut. Rule: every shot ends where the next begins, so it plays as one film.
Fixes: rewrote blocked prompts; cut an extra-arm glitch and punched in.
Voices: designed in ElevenLabs, imported into CapCut.
Edit in CapCut Desktop: voices, captions, SFX, music, PLAN labels, end card.
Screen recordings kept as proof of creation.
