How it started

My wife is a hairstylist and makeup artist. She rented a creative space, saw clients for hair and makeup, and kept all her bookings in a paper notebook. Forgotten entries, double-booked time slots, lost contacts — it happened all the time.

I decided to build a simple Telegram bot. All it could do was book a client for a time slot and send a couple of reminders. Nothing fancy. But it solved the problem.

And then I got hooked

The bot worked, but I wanted to make it better. First I added an admin panel to see the schedule. Then — online booking via Telegram Mini App so clients could book themselves. Then — a rule engine that automates routine without a single line of code. Then — an AI assistant that helps set up a business in five minutes.

Every new feature grew from a real need. Not from a roadmap on a board, but from a conversation — "wouldn't it be nice if...".

Why it's safe for your business

Today LALAPAM is not a weekend bot but a full-featured platform: online booking, product sales, payments, multi-channel notifications and automation. It works in the browser, as a Mini App in Telegram and MAKS, and as a standalone PWA on your phone.

Yes, for now I run the project alone — and for you that's more of a plus. You deal directly with the person who builds everything: the feature you need ships in days instead of dissolving into a corporate backlog. Support is a personal conversation, not a ticket in a queue.

Every day since January 2025 I write code and ship updates — this isn't an abandoned pet project but a working tool that, among others, my wife's salon runs on. And I deliberately build LALAPAM differently from typical CRMs: free notifications via messenger instead of paid SMS, your own app without the App Store, no-code automation — all at a fair price with no hidden fees.
