How We Built Our First AI-Powered Murals

Digital Mural System

The End of the Corkboard

For years, cleaning teams relied on corkboards—pinned schedules, faded checklists, memos lost behind other memos. It worked. Kind of. But it wasn't scalable, wasn't flexible, and it definitely wasn't smart.

We wondered: What if every team had their own digital mural—always updated, always visual, always accessible by QR code?

That's when we started building the Digital Mural System.

Introducing Digital Mural System

Think of it as a dynamic, mobile-first bulletin board—except every employee can access it by simply scanning a QR code. No apps to download. No passwords to remember.

Here's what made it different from the start:

  • One mural per team: Each team gets its own visual dashboard—tailored to their role, location, and daily tasks.
  • Always up to date: Changes made in the system sync instantly. No more outdated printouts.
  • Accessible anywhere: Whether you're in the building or on the go, your team's mural is just a scan away.

Customization at Scale

We knew that no two cleaning teams are the same. So we built the mural system to be flexible from the ground up:

  • Create murals by building, floor, or function
  • Upload your own visuals or choose from pre-made content
  • Toggle between different views (calendar, checklist, announcements, training videos)

And everything is managed through one admin dashboard—making it easy to create, update, or retire murals as teams evolve.

Visual Training with AI (Eve)

Here's where it got fun.

We introduced Eve, our AI-powered mascot, to live inside the murals and guide employees through tasks. Not through dense manuals—but through quick, visual, bite-sized lessons.

Eve can:

  • Walk employees through cleaning protocols using annotated images
  • Answer common questions in real-time ("How do I refill this dispenser?")
  • Offer tips based on the employee's location or role

Suddenly, training wasn't just a one-time PDF. It became ongoing, contextual, and actually helpful.

Real-Time Scheduling

One of the most requested features? Live schedules that don't require a group chat to interpret.

Now, instead of guessing who's working where, employees scan their QR code and instantly see:

  • Their shift for the day
  • Which zones they're assigned to
  • Any updated instructions or notes from supervisors

And if something changes last-minute? Update it once. Everyone sees it immediately.

Mobile-First Library

We also embedded a content library directly into the murals—so every team has access to:

  • Safety videos
  • Standard operating procedures
  • Product guides and MSDS sheets
  • Before-and-after cleaning examples

Everything designed to be viewed on a phone screen. No squinting at PDFs. No hunting through old emails.

From Digital Closet to Digital Strategy

What started as a better bulletin board evolved into something much bigger: a digital operations layer for cleaning teams.

We realized we weren't just replacing corkboards. We were building a new way for teams to stay aligned, informed, and empowered—no matter where they were working.

Conclusion

The Digital Mural System proved that small innovations—QR codes, visual dashboards, AI assistants—can completely transform how frontline teams operate.

It also taught us that the best digital tools aren't always the most complex. Sometimes they're just the ones that meet people where they are—on their phones, in the field, trying to get the job done.

Next up? We're exploring how Eve can help teams troubleshoot equipment, report issues, and even predict supply needs before they run out.

Because if we've learned anything, it's this: the future of facilities isn't just smarter—it's more human.
