PulseCare Reception is a WhatsApp-based reception platform built for a medical centre in Zimbabwe. It helps patients book, confirm, reschedule, or cancel appointments through WhatsApp, while giving staff one shared workspace to manage every conversation.
I :designed and built the product end to end, including the shared inbox, AI assistant with staff handoff rules, appointment reminders, booking form, consent tracking, audit logs, role-based access, and safety controls. The platform handles administration only, with no medical advice, diagnosis, prescriptions, or emergency support.

I wanted to make a photography website that felt more like an experience than a portfolio.
So I built CINÉRA — a cinematic photography studio website with a 3D gallery, interactive archive, real availability, and a complete booking flow.
You can explore the work, pick a date and time, add your shoot details, and get booked without the usual back-and-forth.
On the studio side, there’s a dashboard to manage bookings and inquiries, plus automatic booking confirmations to take a bit of the repetitive work off the photographer’s plate.
This was built for an appointment-based business challenge, and honestly, I had way too much fun making it.
Can a designer push Lovable as hard as any design tool?
Yes, and the method is simpler than you'd think. Three steps. I'll show each one on real slides from this challenge.
First, why I'm back. I sat out the last couple of challenges: I needed a real break, and other projects needed me more. I hadn't opened Lovable in a bit over a year. When this one landed, I thought: let's see if a designer can take it to the limit, the way I do with every other tool. So far, it's holding.
The client is Endorphin, a run club in Turin. Every Thursday, 19:00, under the Arco del Valentino, free, any pace. Here's the method.
1. Design every state before you prompt. Default, hover, spots left, full, waitlist, booked, past. Look at the third slide: each chip is a different state of the same event, "You're in", "23 left", "31 going". If a state isn't designed, Lovable guesses it. So I never leave it a guess.
2. Write the prompt like a spec. Real sizes, real colors, real timings. Mine says things like: the slide takes 480ms, easing cubic-bezier(0.2, 0.8, 0.2, 1), no bounce. Then I attach the Figma export of that exact state and write "match this pixel for pixel". That's how the calendar on the last slide got its hover: the cell lifts, a preview card shows cover, time, place and spots left, and Book sits right there.
3. One prompt at a time. I send a piece, compare it with my board, and only then send the next. The phone view on slide two came out that way: a booking sheet with two fields and one line, "No account. No password. Just show up." Above it, a molecule where every dot is a moment from a Thursday.
The first slide shows the result of all three: the whole night as single cards. Price, distance, time, meeting point, crowd. One idea each.
The tool is only as sharp as the brief you give it.
If you've built with an AI tool: where did you hit the wall first, design or logic?
great designs, all made in lovable right?
I cannot get my demo to be below 3 mins.. its looks impossible. So I'll drop my pitch here
I built an AI Agent that books appointments directly inside chat apps like WhatsApp, Instagram, Telegram and Facebook Business through natural conversations.
I hooked up a few things to make it happen:
- WhatsApp Business API
- Meta scopes for Instagram
- Scopes for Facebook messaging
- Google Calendar API
- AI Agent (powered by Lovable)
All of these work together to help businesses get appointments without lifting a finger, saving time and money in the process.
PROBLEM:
Usually, appointment-based businesses would use booking websites (pretty common these days) to take bookings, but bookings generally dont start from there. It starts with customers sending messages on WhatsApp or Instagram (or social media generally), like, “Are you free on Saturday?”, and then they wait to be directed.
That normally means someone has to stop what they’re doing, reply to the customer, check the calendar, suggest a time, follow up, create the booking (or send a booking link), send reminders, collect payments, and handle any changes afterwards or, worst, answer repeated questions for the nth time.
and
Because clients/customers require fast responses, businesses lose hundreds of customers a year because their competitors replied first!
So I built PingBase
PingBase removes that entire back-and-forth. Instead of sending customers somewhere else to book, PingBase turns the conversation they’re already having into the booking.
This is usable fo any time of business for multiple use cases.
To test the project:
Send a WhatsApp message to the fictional business (Studio 9 - already set up on teh platform) at +447587492916 or message @samuellasisi1st on Instagram.
Or give it a spin yourself on Lovable: (maybe create your business)

- Some screenshots of the product (+ WhatsApp and IG Conversations)
- 10+ Min breakdown of how the product works end-to-end
Things to note: Meta-required scopes for this are not available for public use yet as it's not something I can control, so you might not be able to connect your own business Instagram or WhatsApp acounts just yet. but you can try...
