Calmio Dental Clinic - from inquiry to confirmed booking, without a phone call
A booking system for a family dental clinic in Bratislava. Routine visits confirm themselves, and reception only handles the exceptions.
Most dental clinics still book by phone. Patients call during working hours and wait on hold, and reception spends the day typing the same details into a calendar. I wanted to see how much of that one person could hand over to software in a week, without losing the human touch where it matters.
Calmio Dental Clinic is a fictional family clinic with two branches in Bratislava. It has three parts:
1. For patients: booking form with four steps, in six languages
- Pick a reason. An AI helper suggests one if you're not sure what appointment you need.
- Answer a few questions that change with the treatment: pain, swelling, a nervous child, braces type, blood thinners.
- Choose a branch, a dentist and a time from a live calendar, or take the first free slot.
- Get a confirmation email, an SMS and a calendar file. Move or cancel the visit from one link, no account needed.
2. Autopilot: three checks decide who needs a human
- Swelling plus fever? The patient is told to call now, or can request an urgent callback.
- Braces, implants, crowns, root canal, a very nervous child or blood thinners? The booking goes to reception.
- Everything else, such as check-ups, hygiene, fillings and children's visits, is confirmed instantly. Reminders go out 48 h and 24 h before the visit.
3. For reception and dentists: only the exceptions
- A Requests inbox sorted urgent-first, with the right actions for each type. The message to the patient can be edited before it's sent.
- Today and Week views per branch, a filter per dentist, and a "Next patient" card with health flags.
- A waitlist that flags a freed slot when someone cancels.
- Autopilot rules reception can switch on and off, and a full activity log.
Built with Lovable: the front end and back end (Lovable Cloud database and server functions), the AI booking helper and the Ask Calmio chat (Lovable AI), and real email and SMS through Brevo. 55 use cases in total.

Booking a fitting shouldn’t take more messages than the alteration itself.
Meet Tivora Atelier, a fictional clothing alterations studio in Bucharest. The problem: a solo owner spends too much time asking every customer the same questions and coordinating appointments by hand.
I designed and built a booking experience in @Lovable that takes a customer from “Can I book?” to a confirmed fitting. They share garment details, choose an available time and receive a confirmation email. They can add the fitting to their calendar or use a private link to manage it later.
On the other side, the owner has one view for appointments, garment notes and availability.
This is an exploratory demo, not a real booking service. The video walks through the customer and owner experiences in under a minute.

Great job, Anca
Here's my submission for the Contra x Lovable challenge. It's more of a story than a design showcase.
I'd never used Lovable before this. I spent 3 days inside it, and it was an amazing first experience.
How I built it:
I planned everything with Claude, created the images with GPT, and then built and structured the whole app in Lovable.
The problem:
In Bangladesh, India, and across South Asia, brides book a mehedi artist to come home and apply henna before the wedding. I created an imaginary artist, Tisha. While she works, her hands are covered in mehedi for hours. She can't pick up a call or reply to a text, so she badly needs a booking system that works without her.
See it in action: https://mehedibytisha.lovable.app/
What it does:
Customers pick their service, number of guests, and design style from multiple options, then choose an open time.
Customers get a booking confirmation by email, and Tisha gets an email for every new booking.
A backend keeps every customer and every booking in one place.
Tisha sets her schedule once, and customers can book her any time based on it.
Thank you, Lovable and Contra, for organizing this.
Nice work
🎮 Retro Repair Café — bringing old consoles back to life, without the admin chaos.
For the Lovable × Contra challenge, I built a concept website and working booking system for an independent retro console repair café.
Customers can book a console assessment, describe the fault, arrange collection and delivery, and track their repair. If they’re staying, they can reserve a seat and pre-order food or a milkshake. Community gaming nights and a retro marketplace give people a reason to return after the repair.
Behind the counter, a database-backed workshop dashboard brings together repair jobs, quotes, appointments, collections and food orders. I populated it with eight fictional repair jobs so you can explore how it works.
Why I built it
When you run a small repair business, you’re the technician, receptionist and organiser. Every phone call asking for an update interrupts a repair. Paper notes and scattered bookings make it harder to keep customers informed.
I wanted to give that owner more time to fix consoles, while making the customer experience as enjoyable as rediscovering a favourite childhood game.
The café adds something personal: a broken console becomes a reason to meet people, play games and support a local business.
Built with Lovable, with custom visuals and an AI-assisted promo video showing the idea in action.
