This one hits close to home. 🛠️
For the Base44 #GiveItAGlow challenge, I wanted to give a massive upgrade to a family-owned business that means a lot to me: Champion Auto Glass, a local shop serving South Texas. Having worked there for a summer, I know exactly how hard the team works, and how much manual effort goes into managing operations.
The Before: Their online presence was a static, text-heavy page. Customers had to call or email manually, leaving the team stuck playing phone tag to coordinate vehicle details, glass types, and opening times.
The After: Built completely on Base44, I transformed it into a type-safe, sleek, multi-step web application. Customers can now select their exact service (Rock Chip vs. Windshield Replacement), input their vehicle make/model, and seamlessly book an available slot in seconds.
The Automation & AI Depth: Instead of just sending an email notification, this app wires directly into a custom internal management dashboard:
- Live Job Queue & Quote Manager: Instantly logs every submission into structured customer profiles.
- A custom tuned Champion AI Super Agent: An embedded operational assistant. The team can simply type, "List all the rock chip appointments scheduled for this morning," and the AI instantly queries the backend database to return a structured schedule.
Saving time, eliminating phone friction, and putting AI directly into the hands of a local small business.
Check out the transformation walkthrough below! 👇

Another product shipped.
We just launched the iOS app for Legacy Building Journals, a platform built to help people preserve the stories, memories, and moments that matter most.
https://apps.apple.com/pk/app/legacy-building-journals/id6778774585
This wasn't another journaling app. The goal was to create a space where users can capture life experiences through writing, photos, and voice recordings, then preserve them for future generations.
Our team handled everything from product strategy to development, working closely with the client to turn their vision into a polished, production-ready iOS experience.
What we shipped:
1. Full iOS app (React Native)
2. Photo, text, and voice recording capture
3. Stripe + Apple Pay integration
Building products people use daily is always rewarding. Building one that helps families preserve their legacy hits different.
Proud of the team for bringing this to life. On to the next one.
Great Work

I received the code but i don't know how to use it.
I have same question the promo code is showing invalid on Base44 website
🚗 I gave a local Colorado Springs business a digital glow-up.
When I found ZZ Mobile Detailing, I saw a business with an outstanding reputation—4.9⭐ with hundreds of happy customers—but like many small businesses, much of the customer journey still depended on calls, texts, and manual scheduling.
I wanted to build something that would actually help them save time and create a better experience for their customers.
So I built a complete mobile-first business platform in Base44.
Before
Customers contacted the business through calls or messages.
Scheduling and lead management were handled manually.
No centralized customer portal.
No automated follow-ups or review requests.
No AI to answer common questions after hours.
After
The new platform includes:
✅ Premium responsive website
✅ AI Detail Advisor that recommends the right detailing package
✅ Online booking with vehicle profiles
✅ Customer portal with appointment history
✅ Owner dashboard for managing leads, customers, and bookings
✅ Automated booking confirmations
✅ Appointment reminders
✅ Follow-up messages after each service
✅ Automated Google review requests
✅ Rebooking reminders to encourage repeat business
Instead of simply building a website, the goal was to create a tool that helps the business operate more efficiently while delivering a better customer experience.
One of my favorite features is the AI Detail Advisor, which guides customers to the right package based on their vehicle, goals, and detailing needs before they even book.
Building this project reinforced something I love about AI-powered development: when combined with thoughtful product design, you can create software that genuinely helps local businesses grow.
