@ScarFaceLabs @tokkenly I Just connected my Tokkenly account to Claude and it works smoothly. Making it read-only builds trust from day one. Great work, Boss!🔥

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@Joshua_WD This is a lesson we builders need to learn. Building a product is something great but it's often only about 20% of the work.

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@Xjohannesh Yeah, mainly small businesses, like photographers and event vendors who get enquiries but struggle to keep up with replies and follow-ups, and turn those enquiries into bookings. Still figuring out the best niche to focus on though

🚀 Day 2/10: Building ReplyPilot
Today: better business setup + safer reply drafts.
✅ Business profile: phone, timezone & currency
✅ Visual opening-hours editor
✅ Safer drafts using approved prices & FAQs
🔄 Next: UI verification

@AvatarsMuse Thanks for bringing that up! for now it's just regular weekly hours, holiday hours are something I'd like to add later though, businesses would definitely need that, I'll add that to the list.

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@CopiousAi exactly! One made-up discount and the business owner has to explain themselves, I appreciate it man, we move, one step at a time

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

Under the hood, I tightened validation, added database safeguards and expanded the API test suite.

✅ 71 API tests passed
✅ Lint and type checks passed
✅ Frontend and API builds passed
Still need to test the UI manually in a browser, but Day 2 was a productive one. 🚀

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

I also worked on making ReplyPilot's replies more reliable.

It now uses approved catalogue prices and relevant FAQs/policies when available. If information is missing, it should flag the gap instead of inventing an answer.

Still using a mock AI provider for now.

@Ukhan1243 Thanks for the follow! Followed back. 🤝 I'm Curious to hear what you’re building too.

@Ukhan1243 That’s a really important point, especially when a wrong price or availability claim could cost a business a customer. I’d want owners to verify the business details behind a draft and approve it before anything gets sent. Still refining the approach.

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@Joshua_WD A small real bug in code I already know well. Lets me judge the quality of the fix (and how little it touches) instead of just whether it can generate something that runs. Bonus if it has to run tests and keep the change minimal.

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@idyeahstudio I’m thinking of starting with small online businesses, e.g Instagram vendors who handle customer inquiries, product questions, and orders through DMs. Feels like a practical place to test it first

@elonmusk Decentralizing information is the only way to challenge corporate media bias. Let people see the sources and decide on their own.

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@Joshua_WD Exactly, Fast is useful, but if the reply feels robotic people can tell. I’m trying to make sure the AI uses the business’s actual info and tone so it doesn’t sound generic. Do you think the bigger issue for most people is speed or the quality of the replies?

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@Joshua_WD Thanks! Good to have you following. Anything specific you’d want to see in a tool like this for turning enquiries into bookings?

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@mitansh_j07 Thanks! Wanted a solid foundation before touching the AI and workflows. Postgres + Docker makes the rest much easier to build on.

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

@Quitstack Thanks!🙏
That's exactly the problem I want ReplyPilot to tackle, helping small businesses manage enquiries and follow up so fewer potential bookings slip through.
Still early, but I'm excited to build this in public!

[Freedom Chukwudi @freedom_web2dev]

What makes it different: The goal is more than another chatbot. ReplyPilot should help coordinate customer-related work, suggest the next action and track outcomes, while keeping owners in control of important decisions. This is the vision I'm building toward.
