Rope Street Tattoo, Brașov (fictional) Problem solved: a solo tattoo artist loses tourist leads to midnight DM replies and a day's pay to every no-show. Now any message becomes a priced, deposit-paid booking in under a minute, and confirmations, reschedules and waitlist refills run on their own.
The client: Mara, one chair, around the corner from Strada Sforii. Gloves on 7 hours a day, so DMs wait until midnight. Every quote needs size, placement and colour: about 7 messages per booking. Tourists leave before she replies, and 1 client in 7 doesn't show up.
What I built in Lovable: → Front door: describe the idea in English, German or Romanian. AI reads it, but Mara's own rules set duration, price and deposit. Only times that fit the job and the customer's days in town. Stripe deposit, booked. Cover-ups and hands go to Mara instead. → Autopilot: confirm or move at 72 h, a second nudge at 48 h, unconfirmed slots released 24 h ahead and offered to the waitlist, prep reminders, online consent forms, aftercare and touch-ups. → Owner area: Today, Week, Needs you with drafted replies, paste-a-DM replies, and the numbers: in four weeks of demo data, 304 messages not written and 38 h 53 min saved. → A demo clock to fast-forward and watch it work.

Good catch, Hazem. Paying the deposit inside the 72-hour window counts as the confirmation, so a tourist who books two days ahead is marked confirmed straight away: no confirm-or-move message, no 48-hour nudge, and no 24-hour release to the waitlist. Asking someone to confirm a...

Update for anyone trying it: payments run in Stripe test mode (card 4242 4242 4242 4242, any future date, any CVC). In the owner view, the "See the autopilot in one minute" card walks you through it: Needs you, then the demo clock (+3 hours, +1 day) to watch unconfirmed slots...
