The problem it solves

Remembering every employee's birthday and work anniversary falls through the cracks when you're busy running the business, especially as your team grows. Designing a personalized card each time takes effort nobody has time for.

Who it fits

Small to mid-size businesses without a dedicated HR or design team who still want to celebrate employees.

How it works

  1. A daily schedule checks employee records for today's birthdays and anniversaries
  2. Matching employees are identified by comparing today's date against their records
  3. Their photo is placed onto a designed card, with their name and years of service added
  4. The finished card is emailed directly to the employee
  5. A summary email confirming how many cards went out is sent to the admin
What you get

Employees who feel seen on their birthday

Every employee gets a personalized photo card celebrating their birthday or work anniversary, emailed to them automatically on the right day.

What you get

A personalized birthday or anniversary card emailed to each employee, plus an admin summary.

What you need

A Google Drive account with employee records and templates, and a Gmail account for sending.

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.
