The problem it solves

Writing a personal note for every guest at a wedding or event takes hours you don't have, and generic printed cards feel impersonal. Designing and formatting each card by hand adds even more time before the event.

Who it fits

Wedding planners, event organizers, or community managers preparing personalized name cards.

How it works

  1. Guest details are added to a Google Sheet
  2. AI writes a personalized message for each guest
  3. Guests are grouped into printable batches
  4. Front and back card designs are generated as PDFs
  5. Finished PDFs are saved to Google Drive, ready to print
What you get

Personalized cards guests feel are just for them

You get a personalized seat card for every guest, styled and ready to print for your event.

What you get

Print-ready PDF seat cards with a personalized message for every guest, saved to Google Drive.

What you need

A Google account, an OpenAI API key, and an APITemplate.io account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
