Get a daily birthday reminder from your contacts

Checks your contacts every morning and sends a Telegram message, and speaks it aloud, on anyone's birthday.

How the work actually flows

It branches. Every path runs; runs once per each contact with birthday.

The problem it solves

Remembering everyone's birthday and actually doing something about it on the day is easy to let slip when you're busy. A missed birthday for a client or team member can feel like a small but real oversight.

Who it fits

A small team, family, or business owner who wants to never miss a birthday.

How it works

  1. Every morning at a set time, the system checks your contacts list
  2. It looks for any birthday that matches today's date
  3. If there's a match, it sends a Telegram message
  4. It also announces the birthday out loud through a connected smart speaker
What you get

Birthdays that never slip your mind

You get a Telegram message and a spoken announcement every morning when someone in your contacts has a birthday.

What you get

A daily Telegram notification and voice announcement for anyone's birthday that day.

What you need

A Google account, a Telegram bot, and a Home Assistant setup connected to a smart speaker.

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.
