Melt Studio built a moodboard and price-tracking app for Savvy By Design, a high-end interior renovation and design consultancy, using AI to check product prices on the web and update every moodboard that uses them, as part of its pro-bono prototype program.

Savvy By Design: interior design moodboards with live product pricing

Savvy By Design designs personalized, high-end living spaces around each client's personality. Every project starts with moodboards: curated sets of furniture, fixtures, and finishes, each with a real product and a real price. Those moodboards are how clients see, approve, and budget their new space.

The challenge: keeping hundreds of product prices current across every moodboard

Product prices change all the time, and the same sofa or light fixture often appears on several clients' moodboards at once. Keeping everything current meant checking retailer sites by hand and updating spreadsheets one by one, so a single price change could leave several client budgets out of date.

The solution: a moodboard app with AI price monitoring

We built the one workflow that saved the most time, on Melt's Startup Starter Kit:

• Moodboards and products in one place, with every existing moodboard imported from the team's spreadsheets.

• See where a product is used: editing a product shows every other moodboard it affects.

• AI price monitoring: a "refresh prices" action that uses AI to check the web for each product's latest price.

• Automatic updates: when a price changes, every moodboard that includes the product is updated at once.

  
  

How a dedicated team built it in weekly sprints

A developer and a project manager working in one-week sprints: the data model and product view first, then moodboards and the data import, then the AI price engine, and finally deployment.

Results: a working moodboard app that keeps prices up to date

• Every legacy moodboard migrated from spreadsheets into the app.

• Automated price checks with AI, and price updates across all affected moodboards.

• A deployed prototype the team can use and build on.

Running your business on spreadsheets that should be a product? That's the gap we fill.
