Fuluck AI — Freelance Service Site

You wouldn't believe that a LINE bot built to answer cat adoption inquiries would become the front door of an AI consultancy.

From "Cattery Side Project" to "Wait, Can You Build This for Me?"

Spring 2023. I was documenting the chaos in my cattery SNS timeline: three Ragdoll cats, one unexpectedly viral Instagram account, and a flood of DMs asking about pricing and availability. I hacked together an n8n workflow that piped common questions to GPT-3.5, leaving me to handle only the final confirmation. It was sloppy, brittle, and held together with console.log prayers.

Then a visitor—a clinic owner from Kyoto—snapped a photo of my laptop screen and asked: "Can you turn this into a booking system?"

That became Job #1. No contract. No pricing sheet. I opened Notion, typed "AI Conversation System Development," listed three bullet points, and quoted ¥300,000. She said yes.

• Jobs 1-3: All "while you're here" referrals from cattery visitors. Closed via LINE DM, delivered via Lark docs
• Jobs 4-7: Feature creep exploded—English version? Instagram DM integration? I started managing client code with git branch and once deployed Clinic A's API key to Restaurant B's server
• Job 8: Tanaka-san, a clinic director in Osaka. His email subject: "Is ¥500,000 feasible?" I replied with three essays explaining vector stores, RAG, and why I chose LanceDB over Pinecone

What Three Lost Emails Taught Me

Tanaka-san never replied to my fourth email. When I followed up a week later, his assistant responded: "The director wanted to know about similar-scale clinic deployments, not technical architecture." Six hours of my life, from chunk size optimization to embedding model comparisons, completely self-indulgent.

The gap between "technical overflow" and "commercial entry point" isn't a gap—it's a chasm. My cattery backend worked for me, but it couldn't let a stranger decide in 30 seconds whether this team could handle their project.

The real cost isn't time. It's cognitive misalignment: you're speaking pipeline, they're speaking pain.

In September 2023, I registered fuluck.ai and productized four reusable modules from the cattery stack: multilingual support, automated content, LINE bots, TTS video. Each template carries:

1. Starting price (not exact quote—reduces decision friction)
2. Delivery range ("2-3 weeks" not "14 business days")
3. Comparable case link (direct pipeline to full delivery records like dior.fuluckai.com)

First month: 11 form submissions, 4 from Japan, 2 from Singapore. Zero people asked "what is RAG."
