I think AI has created a new problem for me. 😂
I have way too many ideas now.
A SaaS product, AI agents, reusable skills, small games...
Things that used to feel like huge projects suddenly feel possible to try.
And that's exciting!
But now the hardest part isn't always building something.
It's deciding what to build next. 😅
Anyone else experiencing this? How do you decide which idea to pursue first?

AI isn't the designer. It's the tool.
You're the designer. The art director.
It can't design without your direction.
yes, we are like a boss to AI. its all upto us how we get done our work from subordinate.
I built a little hotel you can explore.
With an AI teammate that turns guest requests into action.
Meet SuiteDesk, my entry for the #Base44Challenge, built with @Base44.
It’s an AI concierge and service workspace for boutique hotels.
The idea started with a small moment:
“Could we have two extra towels?”
A simple request still needs to reach the right person, get handled, and get back to the guest. SuiteDesk connects those steps.
Mira captures the room request.
Housekeeping receives the task.
A team member picks it up and completes it.
The guest receives an update
* Mira is the AI agent persona in SuiteDesk, trained on the hotel's specific service policies and local recommendations
What she does:
- Answers guest questions using only the hotel's own approved details: Wi-Fi, breakfast hours, amenities, policies.
- Turns a sentence like "we need towels" into a real request: it lands on your board, and the guest follows its status in the conversation.
- Recommends places and activities around the hotel, researched live.
- Writes in the guest's own language and always speaks to them as a guest, never as staff.
Guests ask from their phones. Staff manage the work from a shared service desk.
I wanted that experience to feel as welcoming as the hotel itself.
So I built an illustrated world around it: a courtyard, rooms, a spa, and Mira waiting to help.
The design gives you places to explore and ways to try the service.
Inside Base44, I worked on the agents, their instructions, hotel knowledge, and request workflow.
I kept reworking the artwork, copy, and navigation until the hotel helped explain the product.
The walkthrough shows both sides: the interactive experience and a labelled test request moving through the live service desk.
My goal was to give boutique hotel teams less to chase, while keeping hospitality personal.
Watch the build, then step inside:

Starting from "two extra towels" is such a good way to frame it. The guest seeing the status update is the part hotels usually miss.
I saw the Base44 challenge and thought: what if I built an actual app?
I've built plenty of websites, and my workflow there is pretty well established. But building an app entirely on my own, as a designer? I've never done anything even close to that. So naturally, I wanted to try.
And I already had an idea I'd been putting off for a while.
About a year and a half ago, I became a mom, and one of the things that drove me absolutely crazy was introducing solids. The information was scattered across dozens of sources, recommendations were confusing, and I ended up putting together my own plan piece by piece. And then trying to keep all of it in my head. Not exactly what you need when you're already sleep-deprived.
That's where the idea for Tastimi, a gentle guide to your baby's first foods, came from.
So I got to work. Designed the screens, created the logo, thought through the user flows, and got a little carried away, as usual.
Then I looked at the calendar and realized that even with AI assistants and all their superpowers, building an entire native app in a few days was a bit too ambitious.
Well, what do we do when there's not enough time?
🚀 MVP, of course.
I already had the designs, so I decided to turn them into an interactive website using Base44. Something that could introduce the product, give parents actual value, and help me test the idea before investing months into development.
So here's what I managed to build:
1. Design: Custom branding, illustrations, real app screens, and a fully responsive, mobile-first website. Everything is based on my original app designs.
2. Automatic language detection: The website opens in English or French depending on the visitor's browser settings, with a manual language switch.
3. Interactive quiz: Parents select their baby's age and get a personalized starting-solids plan with food suggestions, practical tips, and things to avoid. The recommendations are curated, not AI-generated. I love AI, but I'd rather not let it improvise when it comes to feeding babies.
4. Waitlist and lead capture: Since the app isn't available yet, visitors can leave their email instead of clicking a download button that leads nowhere. The idea is to start building an audience before the actual launch.
5. Behind the scenes: I've also been working on the signup flow and automation logic, including personalized follow-ups and collecting insights about potential users. Some parts are still a work in progress, but the foundation is there.
I did hit a few limitations with my current Base44 plan, so there's still some setup to finish. But given the deadline, I decided to focus on getting the MVP live and leave the polishing for later.
The business logic is pretty simple: instead of spending months building an app based entirely on my assumptions, I can start validating demand now. Parents get something useful through the quiz, and I get a chance to understand what to build first.
Is it the native app I originally wanted to submit? No. Is everything finished? Also no. But it's a working MVP, and honestly, I'm pretty happy with how much I managed to get done.
So here I am, jumping into the Base44 challenge literally in its last hours. Better late than never, I guess 😅

Would love to hear what you think!
