# LastShot (Commercial Espresso Machine Field Service)
### LastShot turns panicked morning cafe breakdowns into guaranteed technician arrivals by automating skill-matching, traffic buffers, and machine photo triage—freeing the owner from endless WhatsApp scheduling.
#### Why this domain ?
A machine breakdown can kill a cafe's revenue. The business struggles with three classic contractor headaches:
1. Technicians stuck in metro traffic without buffer time
2. Dispatching someone who lacks the certification or parts for a specific machine, and
3. Customer no-shows or last-minute cancellations while a tech is already en route.
LastShot enforces 30-minute transit buffers, skill-based slot computation, strict 2-hour self-service cutoff. and an optional machine photo upload.
#### For the repair agency :
Dispatch board (/ops) gives the owner instant visual control over daily capacity, absence clashes, and technician workloads.<br>• Technician view (/tech) gives field technicians their route, customer notes, uploaded machine photos, and outcome logging. PostgreSQL exclusion constraint prevents double-booking at the database engine level.

Northbound🚀: Studio Autopilot
An AI-powered client pipeline for creative studios, wrapped in a hand-built 3D world. A brief comes in, gets scored and routed, becomes a priced proposal, is accepted online and turns into a running project, with no one chasing emails.
Every studio knows the feeling: a new brief lands and the clock starts. Then come hours of reading, qualifying, writing proposals, chasing replies and setting up the project. Northbound turns that whole journey into one automated flow, so a small studio can respond like a big one.
The problem: Creative studios lose their best hours to admin. Strong leads wait days for a proposal, weak ones eat the same time as good ones, and follow-ups slip through the cracks. The work that wins clients is the work nobody has time for.
The solution:
- AI brief scoring and routing. Every brief is read for budget, timeline, goals and fit, then routed one of three ways: fast track, a quick human review, or an honest, helpful decline with pointers.
- Tailored proposals in about a minute. Strong fits get a scoped proposal with workstreams, a realistic timeline and three priced packages.
- Online acceptance and kickoff booking. Clients pick a package, accept online and book their kickoff call on the spot.
- A project that runs itself. Milestones are planned on acceptance, and follow-ups and reminders go out automatically.
- A morning digest. Every day at 08:00 the studio owner gets a summary of new briefs, proposals awaiting review, clients who haven’t replied, and what’s due.
- An owner dashboard showing pipeline, win rate and hours saved, plus a review queue to approve held proposals in one click.
- A live demo console where anyone can send a sample brief through the real pipeline and watch each step happen.
The morning digest is my favorite part here. When inquiries, proposals and deadlines are all in one place, you don't have to start the day searching through conversations. I'd just put the items that need an owner's decision today at the top.

For a small e‑commerce client I built a monitoring automation that runs on n8n. Every five minutes a Schedule Trigger fires an HTTP Request to the storefront; an IF node evaluates the response and, on failure, pushes a Telegram message and logs the event in Google Sheets. The whole thing works unattended, giving the owner an early warning before customers notice downtime. It’s a lightweight, cost‑effective way to keep the shop visible.

Great automation! 👏 A simple, cost-effective monitoring system that helps businesses detect downtime early and maintain a better customer experience.
