The website for my own agency, Khai Agency, which builds AI systems for small businesses: an AI phone receptionist, an assistant that answers staff questions from the owner's own files, lead maps built from permit data, and chatbots.
The homepage opens on a calm cream-and-navy gallery of clay-style 3D models, one per service. Visitors flip through them with arrows or the keyboard, and each model shows what that system does. Further down, visitors can call the live AI receptionist, add up the hours and missed calls they'd save, see the lead-map products I run myself, read how the setup works, and ask a question or book a call.

1 designer + base44 + 3 days without proper sleep = Overdrive🤍
A job tracking system for a car repair shop.
✱ One board showing every car on the floor, where each one stands and what’s holding it up.
Add a car, assign the work, and from there it tracks itself- what’s late, which parts have landed, who’s in today. Visit history, receipts, and a widget that tells you the next free slot you can offer someone.
Three days. Not smooth ones. But it’s live❗️
✱ Now the why, because none of those features were my idea.
My client owns the shop. Four mechanics, up to seven cars a day, no front desk. For months he’d complain about the same stuff whenever we talked: parts he ordered and forgot about, mechanics starting one car and getting pulled onto another, people asking when they can bring a car in and him not knowing what to say.
It was never a brief, of course, he was just talking. But one day I asked him properly: what do you need to see the moment you walk in?
✱ He said four things. And those four made sense as widgets, naturally.
Nothing on the job board gets typed in by a person. For example, a car shows as blocked because the mechanic who has it is off today- the board works that out and writes the reason on the card. He doesn’t walk around the shop asking anyone, he can just see it now.
✱ And the part nobody puts in these posts😅
→ It is my first time ever (!) using Base44 and I started without a paid plan, so I had a hard limit on how many prompts I got.
You can’t iterate your way to something like that. Every prompt had to arrive already correct, which meant almost all of the work happened before I typed anything. I designed every screen and every state in Figma first, then worked out exactly what to ask for and in what order.
I spent hours with Claude and Google figuring out how to phrase things, what would break, what to check before changing anything. I’d write a prompt and then throw it away and write a better one, because a wasted prompt cost more than the time did 🤷🏻♀️
Honestly, the constraint made it better. No aimless tinkering. Every change had a reason before it was made, and I still got every core feature I wanted in there.

Well done!
And love the "no proper sleep" detail - sounds so familiar 😂
Every creature in this identity is watching you.

Case study drops soon.
Which creature goes first?
Hey Little Fen,
Can you see me?
Section, a matcha shop that runs itself
The problem A lot of matcha brands skip the story. You buy a tin and never learn where the leaf grew, how it was shaded or how it was ground. And the instructions come as a little booklet in the box that ends up in a drawer by the second bowl.
The idea Tell the story on the website, and move the instructions there too. Section is a concept matcha brand: the site follows one leaf from the field to your bowl, then sells one box with the matcha and the five tools a barista uses. There's no booklet in the box. The guide lives on the site: every part lettered A to F, four drinks, each step read aloud, and pages that turn by themselves while your hands are busy. Live: pure-section-space.base44.app
Automation depth Behind the counter, the shop runs itself:
Saves time: an order lands on the packing board the moment it's placed, with where it ships. Nobody copies orders out of an inbox.
Improves operations: stock counts itself. Every order takes its items off the shelf (a box takes one of each part). At 3 left the shop says "Only 3 left" and I get an email. At zero, the item sells out on its own.
Increases leads: a sold-out item offers "Tell me when it's in". That's a list of people who want to buy. When I type a new count, each of them gets one email.
Enhances the customer experience: the buyer gets an email at every step: got it, packed, on its way. The last one links to the guide, so the steps arrive before the box does.
The packing board is mine, behind a sign-in, and addresses are kept where only I can read them.
** It all runs on Base44: its database, Google sign-in, one backend function for the emails, and its hosting. **
Design quality
One idea runs through the whole brand: everything is drawn in one black line, and the only colour is the matcha's green.
The first screen is a small matcha bar. Scroll, and it opens into its own drawing.
The phone layouts are designed, not shrunk. The box, its price and its key stay at the foot of the first screen, and the guide's Back and Next stay under your thumb.
How I built it I tried style directions in Figma, built the site and automation in Base44, and I published from there. The video shows both sides: buying the box, and running the shop.
Real-world use Section is a concept, and no payment is taken. Everything else is built to run as a real shop: real orders, real emails, a locked staff board and private addresses. Add a payment provider, and a matcha brand could start selling with it.
Ohhhhh this is very nice
