The 3 automations every service business needs first.
Not the flashiest. Not the most complex. The ones that pay for themselves in week one.
1 — Lead capture to CRM.
Every inbound inquiry — form, call, DM, email — logged automatically with a timestamp, source, and status. No manual entry. No missed leads. You know exactly what came in, when, and from where.
2 — Follow-up sequence trigger.
The moment a lead enters your CRM, a sequence fires. Day 1 email. Day 3 SMS. Day 7 check-in. Not because someone remembered to do it — because the system can't forget.
3 — Appointment confirmation + reminder.
Booked appointment → confirmation sent. 24 hours before → reminder sent. 2 hours before → final nudge. No-show rate drops. Cancellations get rescheduled automatically.
These three systems alone recover more revenue than most businesses make from a month of marketing spend.
Everything else — AI agents, voice bots, competitor analysis pipelines — comes after.
Build the foundation first.
→ I'll build all three for you in under a week.

Zooly is the brand mascot and the AI chat assistant for a pet boarding SaaS. He is built entirely in Rive and runs live in production at zooly.pet.
He is a working assistant with real tooling. He pulls live booking data, raises support tickets, and searches the knowledge base to answer questions. Helpful, useful, and fun.
He also reacts to what happens in the app. Confirm a booking and he fist pumps, open the chat and he waves, go idle and he drifts from bored to sleepy, and he cracks animal jokes and laughs at them. His eyes follow your cursor, and 160+ contextual lines keep him from repeating himself.
How it is built:
One ZoolyStates state machine. A mood input drives 8 fully rigged poses (idle, talking, roar, happy, excited, curious, bored, sleepy) at 60fps.
A second Expression overlay layer composites gestures (wave, fist pump, curious tilt, laugh) over the current mood, driven by a Rive View Model.
2D eye tracking binds lookX and lookY to the cursor position.
The rig is built for a whole cast. Every character shares the same numeric contract, so each app domain gets its own mascot with a personality suited to it. A falcon runs security, a penguin runs care, a quokka runs bookings. They render Zooly's rig as stand-ins until their artwork is commissioned.
That cast also cuts decision fatigue. Each character only raises what matters in its own domain, so who is talking to you tells you what kind of thing it is before you read a word.
Interactions: eyes follow the cursor, right click to roar, rub his belly for excited, drag him and his arms go up.
Amazing😻
GOODNIGHT to all the frens, enemies, supporters, competitors, judges, and nobodies of VOLTYX.

A quiet spring afternoon unfolds through the lens of a forgotten early-2000s MiniDV camcorder, following a young woman enjoying simple everyday moments in a peaceful Korean neighborhood. Created entirely with Renoise Text-to-Video using a detailed cinematic prompt to recreate authentic handheld camcorder movement, nostalgic MiniDV imperfections, realistic environmental storytelling, and consistent character identity in one continuous take.
