Lumani Ecosystem Teams
InternalA small studio has a deceptively hard question to answer every day: who’s working on what, what’s in the pipeline, and the part nobody’s software handles, who’s actually contributing what to the business. So we built one tool that runs all of it, exactly the way we do.
Why we built it
The same stack-of-subscriptions trap as everywhere else. Just pointed inward.
The off-the-shelf answer is to rent a project tool for the boards, a separate docs tool for the flexibility, and keep a spreadsheet on the side for commission and take-home, because none of them know how you pay your people. Three tools, three logins, three monthly bills, and not one of them shaped like the way your team actually works.
So we built one tool that does all three. A board where each person has a column of work still to do, and finished work disappears: an empty column means the day is won. A leads pipeline so no prospect goes cold, with a one-tap “followed up today”. And the part neither a project tool nor a docs tool will ever do for you, a live earnings engine: every team member sees, in real time, the recurring revenue they’ve brought in, their commission share, and their actual take-home.
And nobody clicks around any of it. Each person has their own AI assistant wired straight into the system. “Mary’s Bakery just signed, Growth plan, move them to won and convert.” Done, in one sentence. Ask it “how’s the team doing this month?” and the whole rollup comes back in plain language.
An empty column isn’t a graveyard of finished tickets. It’s the picture of what’s left, and a day won.
We didn’t build Teams for a market.
We built it for us.
What we kept seeing
A studio needs to see who’s working on what, but most project tools become a graveyard of completed tickets nobody wants to open.
A board where each person’s column shows the work that’s left, and finished work disappears. An empty column means the day is won.
No project tool knows how you pay your people, so commission and take-home end up in a spreadsheet on the side.
A live earnings engine: recurring revenue brought in, commission share and actual take-home, in real time, for every person.
A board, a docs tool and a payroll spreadsheet: three logins, three bills, and none of them shaped like how your team runs.
One tool that does all three, shaped exactly to the way we work.
Prospects go cold because following up lives in someone’s memory, not in the system.
A leads pipeline with a one-tap “followed up today”, so nothing slips.
Every tool expects you to click around it all day to keep it current.
Each person has an AI assistant wired in. “Finished the ACME redesign”, and the card leaves the board while the client stays in the earnings.
A tracker tells you what’s been done. It rarely tells anyone why the work matters to them.
The board tracks the work; the earnings engine tracks the relationships that pay for it. It turns a tracker into something people want to open.
Where it’s at
It runs our own studio. We hit a real operational problem and built the exact system that solved it: AI-first, on our own framework, shaped to how we actually work. Which is precisely what we do for clients. If you need something like it, we’ll build it for you.
