Projects

“I think it’s important for an architect to stay current, but keeping up with ArchDaily, Dezeen, and dozens of studio websites quickly becomes a daily routine that eats into your time. I wanted a tool that could pull the key stories into one place — first for myself, and then for other architects. I came up with the idea for a multi-platform app, and they helped build it from scratch.”

“I run a jewelry shop and workshop in Montenegro. We sell on four platforms: our own store, a partner boutique, our website, and Etsy. Keeping track of inventory and sales was difficult, especially since most items are one-of-a-kind. Diamond Octopus offered a solution: set up inventory management and sales tracking via Telegram. The built-in AI analyzes the image, creates a description, calculates the commission, assigns a product code, and enters the information into a Google Sheet. Sales are also recorded via Telegram: the seller enters the product code into the bot—and the item is marked as sold in the Google Sheet, on the website, and on Etsy.”

“I came to Ksenia (DO) with an idea I'd been sitting on for almost a year. I just couldn't find the right person to help me build it. A friend recommended her, and that turned out to be the best advice I got that year. I needed a way to analyze information and reduce AI-related risks in my work. What I got was a genuinely sophisticated pipeline: agentic fact-checking, source credibility scoring, bias detection across two independent LLM models, all working together in a way that's actually auditable. It started as a proof of concept and eventually became the new business venture.”

“We care about the details that never make it onto a feature list — typography, micro-motion, the way a page settles into place. Rebuilding the site and moving the archive into a new database meant finding someone who would treat our mock-ups as specification rather than suggestion. The brief was simple: build the design exactly as drawn, and create a custom CMS shaped around the way our editors actually work. The frontend came back exactly as intended, and the CMS stays out of the way.”

“I created a 21-lesson haiku course and used to run it once a year by hand in a closed Telegram group. Then we built a bot that runs it year-round — the model checks students' assignments against the course theory and guides them on the path of the haijin. Even my most conservative readers loved it.”

“We needed a site that would read like a magazine, not a database — and a CMS we'd actually want to open every day. They delivered both.”

“Our shipping logistics are complicated, and tracking numbers don't appear right away. We used to spend time explaining to customers that the number was coming. Now Diamond Octopus' bot lets the customer enter their order number and get the status — even before a tracking number exists. Once it does, the bot checks Russian Post on its own.”

“Beyond renovation and construction, our company writes technology cards for people doing repairs themselves. They already exist as a mobile app — Diamond Octopus built us a Telegram Mini App with monthly billing on top of that.”
