## The Problem
Small businesses run on spreadsheets. Setting up proper software takes weeks, costs thousands, and you still need someone to maintain it.
## The Solution
I built Runik AI — a chat-first platform where you describe your business in plain language and AI builds your entire management system.
Say: "I have a dental clinic with 3 dentists"
Get: patients table, appointments calendar, treatment plans, billing, odontogram — with sample data, ready to use in 2 minutes.
## How It Works
- Sign up and describe your business (or pick from 25 templates)
- AI generates tables, fields, relationships, views, and sample data
- Start working — ask questions, create records, see reports, all via chat
## What's Inside
- 🏗️ 25 industry templates: Hotel, Restaurant, School, Dental Clinic, HR, CRM, Gym, Coworking, Parking, and more
- 📊 14 widget types: Table, Kanban, Pipeline, Gantt, Calendar, Pivot, Floorplan, TimeGrid, Dashboard, Charts
- 🤖 Works with ChatGPT & Claude via MCP protocol — they can read and write your data
- 📧 Gmail, Drive, Calendar integration (one-click OAuth)
- ⚡ Pilo automations — alerts via Email, Telegram, WhatsApp
- 🔒 Per-company SQLite — complete data isolation per tenant
- 🌍 3 languages: English, Spanish, French
## The TimeGrid Widget
One of the features I'm most proud of is the TimeGrid — a bidimensional editable grid that works for:
- School attendance (student × day → present/absent)
- Grade books (student × subject → grade)
- Hotel occupancy (room × day → status)
- Employee shifts (worker × day → shift)
- Quality control (product × criteria → pass/fail)
It includes totals per row/column, bulk assign, search filter, CSV export, and inline numeric input.
