KUDLA 🐾

Kyiv, Ukraine · One-woman pet grooming studio

The problem: Marta handles every booking, message and schedule change herself, so even a simple customer enquiry can turn into hours of manual work.

The build: KUDLA is an AI-assisted booking and studio management system designed around how a solo groomer actually works.

Instead of a traditional booking form, clients simply chat with Pip. They can send a photo, describe what they need, get an estimated duration and price, see only the available slots that fit, and confirm the appointment — with no extra work for the owner.

On Marta's side, Pip handles the follow-through: rescheduling, client communication, filling cancelled slots and keeping a record of every message. Marta stays in control and approves changes before anything is sent.

❗ The system also reflects a reality specific to running a business in Kyiv. When an air-raid alert interrupts the day, Marta can pause the schedule, prepare the right messages for affected clients, and rebuild the remaining appointments around the time left — including prioritising an animal whose groom was interrupted.

KUDLA isn't another calendar. It's an AI layer that helps a one-person studio keep running when the owner is busy — or when the day doesn't go to plan.

You did so great! Very inspiring example :)

Know someone who needs a haircut? 🙋 Send them to TrimsByTracy.com, where they will find the salon of Tracy Turnblad, a solo hairstylist in Baltimore who needed an expert to tame her booking flow the way she tames manes.

I had a lot of fun working on this Proof of Concept, from ideating design system inspiration to working through the nooks and crannies of a hairstylist's booking flow, to figuring out how to succinctly communicate the value added in an overview video. I also continue to learn each time I build something new with Lovable. This time I was focused on reducing the amount of time spent testing, which is what my "Process" video is about. I hope you'll take a look at that since I personally think what I shared there is very valuable and should be standard to all builders' workflow and possibly considered for productization by Lovable. Regardless, I hope you enjoy taking a look around TrimsByTracy! All built with care in Lovable. - Drake https://trimsbytracy.com/ https://trims-by-tracy.lovable.app

The delight of booking, Mr. Pinky made me smile.
