The problem it solves

You want to celebrate birthdays and name days on your team, but keeping track in your head or a shared calendar is easy to forget. Someone's special day slips by unnoticed, and by the time you remember it feels like an afterthought.

Who it fits

Team leads or office managers who want to keep birthday celebrations consistent without manual tracking.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule checks the spreadsheet for today's date
  2. The system matches today's date against birthdays and name days on file
  3. A friendly message with a Google Meet link is posted to Google Chat
  4. The team gets an instant, ready-to-join celebration invite
What you get

Birthdays remembered without checking a spreadsheet

Your team gets a friendly birthday shoutout with a ready-to-join Meet link, every time, without anyone tracking dates.

What you get

A Google Chat message with a Google Meet invite whenever someone's birthday or name day comes up.

What you need

A Google Sheets account and a Google Chat (Google Workspace) 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.
