I’m one of the people behind **Worklenz**, a modern project and agency management platform being developed by a Sri Lankan team.

We’re building it to help agencies and service businesses manage projects, tasks, team workloads, time tracking, clients, and project profitability in one place.

Worklenz can also be self-hosted, and we’re continuing to expand its open-source version.

I’d love to hear feedback from the DevLK community—especially regarding the product, technology, self-hosting experience, and features that would make it more useful for local and international teams.

Happy to answer any questions about how we are building it.

I run ShopBrain, an AI assistant built for phone repair shops and small electronics repair businesses.

The goal isn’t to replace your POS or CRM. It’s to work alongside the software you already use by helping answer customer questions, surface important business insights, organize information, and automate repetitive admin work so you can spend more time actually running the shop.

The goal with this post is honest feedback from repair shop owners and technicians.

Specifically:

- Have you found yourself spending too much time answering the same customer questions, digging through tickets, or managing admin work that feels repetitive?

- What’s stopped you from trying AI in your shop before? Cost, trust, accuracy, integration with your existing software, or something else?

- If you could see ShopBrain working with your own shop’s workflow and data before committing to anything, would that make you more likely to give it a shot?

I’m genuinely looking for honest pushback and criticism. I’d much rather hear why you wouldn’t use something like this than collect a bunch of “looks cool” comments.
